Journal ArticleDOI
CDT, GGT, and AST as markers of alcohol use: the WHO/ISBRA collaborative project.
Katherine M. Conigrave,Louisa Degenhardt,John Whitfield,John B. Saunders,Anders Helander,Boris Tabakoff +5 more
TL;DR: CDT was little better than GGT in detecting high- or intermediate-risk alcohol consumption in this large, multicenter, predominantly community-based sample.
Journal ArticleDOI
Detection times for urinary ethyl glucuronide and ethyl sulfate in heavy drinkers during alcohol detoxification.
TL;DR: During alcohol detoxification, EtG and EtS remained detectable in urine for several days and the detection times showed wide inter-individual variations, also after adjusting values for urine dilution and to the estimated times for a completed ethanol elimination.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparison of urinary excretion characteristics of ethanol and ethyl glucuronide.
TL;DR: It was demonstrated that EtG remains detectable in the urine for many hours after the ethanol itself has been eliminated, and it was possible to lower the concentration of EtG by drinking large amounts of water prior to voiding, whereas this strategy did not influence the EtG/creatinine ratio or the concentrate of ethanol.
Journal ArticleDOI
Interference of Transferrin Isoform Types with Carbohydrate-deficient Transferrin Quantification in the Identification of Alcohol Abuse
TL;DR: In four of six healthy carriers of CDG Ia, a- and disialotransferrin were highly increased and the HPLC and IEF isoform patterns were indistinguishable from those in alcohol abuse.
Journal ArticleDOI
Improved HPLC Method for Carbohydrate-deficient Transferrin in Serum
TL;DR: The HPLC method fulfills the requirements of a preliminary reference method for CDT and should work for any combination of serum transferrin glycoforms and could also be useful for confirming positive CDT results by immunoassays in medico-legal cases.
