Summary:Clinical examination (clinical and psychological tests) and paraclinical investigations (measuring the level of hormones in the bloodstream: adrenocorticotropin, cortisol, prolactin) on 155 alcohol addicted patients during the onset of the remission stage of the disease showed the presence of some affective disorders (anxiety, depression, dysphoria) as well as endocrine disturbances compared to people from the control group (healthy persons of the same age and biological sex). The changes detected in alcohol addicted patients during remission may be the cause of early recurrences of the disease. KEYWORDS hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal axis, adrenocorticotropic hormone, cortisol, prolactin, alcoholism in remission Examenul clinic (testari clinico-psihologice) si paraclinic (investigarea nivelului sangvin al hormonilor: adrenocorticotrop, cortizol, prolactina) a 155 de pacienti alcooldependenti in perioada incipienta a remisiunii maladiei, a evidentiat prezenta unor modificari afective (anxietate, depresie, disforie), dar si endocrine, comparativ cu aceiasi indici la persoanele din lotul martor (persoane sanatoase de aceeasi varsta si sex biologic). Modificarile psihoendocrine depistate la alcooldependenti in remisiune, probabil, pot fi cauza recidivelor precoce ale maladiei.
