Convenient At-Home Testing for Chronic Alcohol Consumption
Overview of the Test
The Home CDT Test is a simple and accurate method to detect chronic alcohol consumption. CDT (Carbohydrate-Deficient Transferrin) is a reliable biomarker for assessing long-term and excessive alcohol use. Because it checks alcohol use over the previous 2-3 weeks, it is more useful than blood or urine alcohol tests that only check for alcohol use over the previous 1-2 days. With this home test, you can collect a small blood sample using a finger-prick kit from the comfort of your home and return it to our accredited laboratory using the prepaid envelope provided. The CDT test measures the level of the CDT protein that rises with prolonged alcohol misuse. It is ideal for people about to have a DVLA medical so that they can go into it with confidence knowing their result. Results are securely sent by email within 5 working days of sample receipt at the laboratory.
