Phosphatidylethanol (PEth) is a group of molecules that develop in blood when alcohol is taken - hence its levels can be used to assess for alcohol intoxication. Levels rise soon after alcohol ingestion and can be present for several days giving an indication of chronic alcohol excess.
By buying a laboratory test kit with professional nurse or clinic collection, you can accurately measure Phosphatidylethanol (PEth) for total reassurance.
Professional analysis in an accredited laboratory ensures rapid result delivery.

Tests which include a Phosphatidylethanol (PEth) test:
Several factors can affect interpretation of PEth levels, including the time since alcohol intake. Levels can also vary within individuals. Despite this, elevated PEth commonly correlates well with alcohol excess. High PEth is often interpreted alongside other markers of alcohol consumption such as Gamma GT (part of liver function tests) and other liver function tests.
This pattern is associated with chronic alcohol consumption that may be in excess. National guidance on safe levels of alcohol consumption is sometimes used as a reference point when considering alcohol intake.
This suggests low or no alcohol consumption.
No action is usually required.
