It has been suggested that elevated total plasma homocysteine levels might be useful to predict alcohol withdrawal seizures. The typology by Lesch distinguishes between four subtypes of which type 1 suffers from marked withdrawal symptoms, including alcohol withdrawal seizures. This study was undertaken to investigate total plasma homocysteine levels in actively drinking patients with alcoholism who were classified according to Lesch's typology.
