Carbohydrate-deficient transferrin (CDT) serum concentrations were prospectively determined in 162 subjects (alcoholics n=62, controls n=100) using three different methods of detection (IEF, CDTect, Axis%CDT). Repeated testing in alcoholics after 3 and 5 days of abstinence demonstrated a significantly higher sensitivity of CDT in patients above 40 years of age compared to younger patients.
