Blood test to estimate alcohol consumption over time; key for DVLA fitness to drive test.

Additional Information

This tests for the level of Carbohydrate-Deficient Transferrin (CDT) - a protein - in your blood to estimate your alcohol consumption over an extended period of time. It is a biomarker test that measures the levels of Carbohydrate-Deficient Transferrin (CDT) in the bloodstream. CDT is a protein found in the blood, and its levels can be affected by chronic and heavy alcohol consumption. CDT tests are often used for monitoring alcohol treatment, abstinence verification, and keeping an eye on personal alcohol consumption. It's important to note that CDT tests are not typically used for detecting recent alcohol consumption; they are more useful for assessing long-term or chronic alcohol use.
