Evaluation of the Cut-off for Serum Carbohydrate-deficient Transferrin as a Marker of Chronic Alcohol Abuse Determined by the ChronAIco I.D.™-Assay

Abstract: The aim of the study was to establish reliable cut-off values, indicating chronic alcohol abuse, of the relative (and absolute) serum carbohydrate-deficient transfemn (CDT) concentrations determined by the ChronAIco I.D.™-assay. Serum samples from 88 women and 48 men, with the daily alcohol consumption, acute or chronic (liver) diseases and medication ascertained by means of a questionnaire, were analyzed. The cut-off values of the CDT/transferrin ratios and the CDT serum concentrations (95 th percentiles) for… Show more

“…Changing the CDT test can cause a sharp increase or decrease of CDT values, which can lead to a misinterpretation of the actual drinking status. Taking into account the social consequences of high CDT values, it is advisable to use bordedine values (95th percentile plus analytical imprecision) instead of cutoffs (64).…”
