CDT F.A.Q.s


What is a CDT Test?

A CDT (Carbohydrate-Deficient Transferrin) test measures alcohol misuse markers in your blood. Elevated levels can indicate prolonged excessive alcohol consumption.

Why do I need a CDT Test?

You may need a CDT test to prepare for a DVLA medical after a drink-driving ban, ensure you meet fitness-to-drive standards, or confirm reduced alcohol intake over time.

How is a CDT Test performed?

The CDT test involves drawing a small blood sample. A laboratory then analyses the sample to detect changes in transferrin protein due to heavy alcohol use.

How long does it take to receive CDT Test results?

At Drug Test London, we aim to get results back to you within 5 working days.
