Alcohol Profile

 This alcohol profile blood test checks for the following 5 markers:

• Alcohol Level - the amount of alcohol currently in the blood.
• Liver Function Test - checks the effect of alcohol misuse on the liver
• MCV - this level is high in alcohol misuse.
• CDT - checks for alcohol misuse over the past 7-14 days.
• PEth - checks for alcohol misuse over the past 21-28 days.

The alcohol profile blood test tells you if a person has been drinking too much alcohol and if there is any damage to the liver.

You will find that it is less expensive to do these tests together as a profile than to do them separately.

  There is no need for an appointment to do the alcohol profile test. After ordering it, you will receive a confirmation message with a map and directions attached. You can then go to Patient Reception at The Doctors Laboratory to give the sample. The laboratory is open 7am – 7pm weekdays and 7am-5pm on Saturdays.

  Results Take: 5 - 7 working days

  Results of your alcohol profile will be e-mailed to you.
