Carbohydrate Deficient Transferrin Test In Pune For Prolonged Alcohol Use Assessment
The Carbohydrate Deficient Transferrin CDT test is a specialised blood investigation used to assess prolonged and excessive alcohol consumption. It measures altered transferrin molecules that may increase after sustained alcohol intake, making it a clinically useful biomarker for alcohol use monitoring and supportive evaluation in the appropriate medical context.
This test may be considered for clinical review, workplace or medico-legal screening, and follow-up of patients with suspected alcohol-related disorders. In Pune and nearby areas of Maharashtra, healthcare nt sickcare offers this test through both home collection facility and direct walk-in facility for convenient blood sample collection and laboratory reporting.
