Are You Managing Risk Factors for Heart Disease?

High cholesterol, elevated blood pressure, and long-term alcohol use are key heart disease risks for UK adults. While lifestyle is crucial, getting tested helps you understand the real impact on your body.

Why is Carbohydrate Deficient Transferrin (CDT) Important?

CDT is a sensitive indicator of prolonged heavy alcohol consumption—often rising before obvious symptoms. For people aiming to reduce drinking, or those with a family history of liver or heart problems, it’s an essential biomarker. More on risk factors for coronary heart disease at the NHS website.

You’ll receive your results by secure email, with clear explanations and next steps. Book a follow-up consultation if you’d like to discuss findings.

Can anything else affect CDT results besides alcohol?
