Phosphatidylethanol is Superior to Carbohydrate-Deficient Transferrin and γ-Glutamyltransferase as an Alcohol Marker and is a Reliable Estimate of Alcohol Consumption Level.

Summary, in English

In clinical practice as well as research situations, it is of great importance to get reliable information about a patient's alcohol consumption. The aim of the study was to investigate the correlation of alcohol biomarkers (phosphatidylethanol [PEth], carbohydrate-deficient transferrin [CDT], γ-glutamyltransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, and alanine aminotransferase) to retrospective as well as diary-based alcohol self-reports and to examine whether it is possible to correlate a biomarker result to a more precise level of alcohol consumption.
