What is CDT?
CDT is a biomarker used to measure heavy alcohol consumption. It refers to a form of the transferrin protein that is lower in carbohydrates when there is heavy alcohol consumption. HPLC refers to the method.
Why have CDT tested?
This test is useful for individuals who want to know if their alcohol consumption is affecting their health. It is particularly useful for medical professionals to assess heavy drinking over an extended period, usually the last two weeks.
What does it indicate?
A CDT test can indicate long-term heavy alcohol consumption. It is more sensitive and specific for alcohol than other tests and can help in assessing levels of alcohol consumption.
What does a high CDT level mean?
A high CDT level indicates heavy and regular alcohol consumption. This may point to potential health risks and the need for further evaluation or a change in lifestyle.
What does a low CDT level mean?
A low CDT level suggests moderate or no alcohol consumption. This is generally an indication that alcohol is not significantly affecting the transferrin protein level.
