Why Combine These Alcohol Tests?
Recent Exposure
Blood alcohol assesses alcohol present during sample collection.
Previous Weeks
CDT and PEth assess different patterns across recent weeks.
Health Context
Liver markers and MCV provide additional clinical context.
Understanding Your Results
No single marker provides a complete assessment of alcohol use.
Liver function and MCV can change for many reasons.
CDT and PEth also require appropriate clinical context.
This profile cannot independently diagnose alcohol dependence or liver disease.
