Product name:Human carbohydrate-deficient transferrin,CDT ELISA Kit
Description:
Carbohydrate-deficient transferrin (CDT) is a laboratory test used to help detect heavy ethanol consumption. Transferrin is a plasma protein that carries iron through the bloodstream to the bone marrow, where red blood cells are manufactured, as well as to the liver and spleen.Elevated levels of CDT suggest recent alcohol abuse, especially if other liver-associated enzymes (such as γ GT) are elevated. Although recent heavy alcohol use is most commonly associated with elevated CDT, certain rare liver disorders can also increase levels of CDT.
