Order a Home CDT Test

Home CDT testing in the UK couldn't be easier. A CDT Test (Carbohydrate Deficient Transferrin) is the blood test that you will do during the DVLA medical to reinstate your license after a drink-driving ban. It checks your level of alcohol intake in the previous 2 weeks and tells if you have been drinking excessively or not. A normal CDT level will help you pass your DVLA medical.

You can order a Home CDT kit and do the test in comfort of your own home. Note that this does not give you an instant result. Just send your sample to the laboratory in our prepaid envelope and get the result by email. What could be more convenient?

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.

Avoid excessive alcohol for several weeks before testing. Eating a balanced diet and staying hydrated can also support more accurate results.
