- Abstract
Although the primary use of biochemical markers of heavy drinking is to assist in screening for alcohol problems, laboratory tests may also aid in early identification of relapse. This report reviews research findings on a new marker, carbohydrate deficient transferrin (CDT), in alcoholics receiving treatment or in follow-up. It also offers recommendations on how CDT may be employed by clinicians monitoring drinking status.
