Does a high %dCDT indicate harmful alcohol use?
The fact that %dCDT is elevated most likely means that a person is drinking too much. %dCDT is an indication that alcohol is disrupting the normal chemistry of the liver cell. While it does not mean that there is liver damage per se it does indicate that alcohol is having a negative effect. It also means that alcohol may be affecting other organs besides the liver and playing a harmful role in the patient’s medical or social functioning.
