Detecting Alcohol Abuse with the Carbohydrate Deficient Transferrin Test💡

• Alcohol abuse can cause severe health issues. But detecting it early can help mitigate the damage. The Carbohydrate Deficient Transferrin (CDT) test is one way to check for excessive alcohol consumption.
• CDT measures the level of transferrin protein in your blood. Transferrin helps transport iron. Excessive alcohol use causes carbohydrate deficiencies in transferrin.
• A CDT test can confirm alcohol abuse over the past two weeks. It can also monitor drinking habits during treatment. This makes it more sensitive than other common tests like GGT and MCV.
