Will cdt test level rise after drinking about 9 units of alcohol over a one week period?

People who do not drink, or drink only moderately, have lower CDT levels in their blood than those who drink heavily. Some CDT tests use a cutoff of less than 1.7%. People who drink four or more drinks a day, at least five days a week, for two weeks prior to the test show significantly greater levels of CDT. So CDT level for drinking 9 units for a week may not be quite abnormal. Take care.

This test is intended for evaluation of alcohol abuse. You are living in a place where there may be consequences for indulging. You should consider the restrictive covenants under which you live and the consequences for breaking them. On stopping alcohol consumption, the CDT level becomes normal after two to four weeks. If the patient starts drinking after withdrawal, CDT increases in a few days.
