Diagnosis & Tests
How is the condition diagnosed?
Diagnosis of alcohol withdrawal begins with a history and physical exam. While there is no test to determine if a person is an alcoholic, the negative effects of alcohol on the body can be seen. Liver function tests can measure liver damage. Special tests, called MRIs and ultrasounds, can check the different organs inside the body for damage.
