Overview of the Test
The Alcohol Profile is a comprehensive blood testing profile that helps assess alcohol consumption and related health markers. It combines short-term alcohol testing with longer-term alcohol biomarkers and liver health markers.
This profile may be suitable for personal reassurance, workplace or occupational health requirements, legal requests, or health monitoring where a broader view of alcohol use and related markers is required.
Results are delivered securely by email and supervised by a doctor before being issued. This profile does not diagnose alcohol misuse or liver disease on its own; results should be interpreted alongside symptoms, medical history and professional advice where appropriate.
Who Is This Alcohol Profile Test For?
This private alcohol testing profile is suitable for people or organisations who need detailed alcohol-related testing across multiple timeframes.
Legal and Workplace Needs
May support legal, compliance, occupational health or workplace alcohol testing requirements where documented results are requested.
Health Monitoring
Helps assess liver markers and blood markers that may be relevant when reviewing alcohol-related health concerns.
Personal Reassurance
Provides a broader profile for people who want more detailed insight than a single alcohol test can provide.
Sample Type
This is a blood testing profile. A blood sample is collected at your appointment and analysed for multiple alcohol-related and health markers.
Included Tests
The Alcohol Profile combines several tests to help provide insight into recent alcohol intake, longer-term alcohol use and related health markers.
Blood Alcohol Level
Measures alcohol present in the bloodstream at the time of testing and is most relevant for recent alcohol intake.
Liver Function Test
Checks liver markers that may be affected by alcohol use, liver stress or other health factors.
MCV
Mean Corpuscular Volume measures red blood cell size, which may provide additional context in alcohol-related health assessments.
CDT
Carbohydrate-deficient transferrin may help assess heavier alcohol use over approximately the previous 2–3 weeks.
PEth
Phosphatidylethanol is a blood marker used to help assess alcohol intake over up to approximately 4 weeks.
Alcohol Detection Windows
This profile provides information across different alcohol testing windows, from very recent intake to longer-term patterns.
