Abstract:
The primary aims of this best practice article are to provide a laboratory perspective of the merits and pitfalls of different markers currently in use in UK National Health Service (NHS) hospital laboratories, and how best these tests can be used for the detection of heavy (harmful) alcohol consumption. Included are suggested testing algorithms for carbohydrate-deficient transferrin (CDT), ethyl glucuronide (EtG), ethyl sulphate (EtS) and phosphatidylethanol (PEth16:0/18:1), for the purpose of creating suitable bench-to-bedside alcohol services in support of the delivery of hospital alcohol strategy, and the NHS long-term health plan.
