    Abstract : Blood samples are often used to investigate the possible presence of disease and to make treatment decisions. In the interpretation of the results, comparison either with previous values from the same individual or with a set of appropriate group-based reference intervals are used. READ MORE

  5. 3. Evaluation and clinical application of ethyl glucuronide and ethyl sulfate as biomarkers for recent alcohol consumption

    Author : Helen Dahl; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : In recent years, there has been a growing interest in various biochemical markers for detecting acute and chronic alcohol consumption. Biochemical markers for acute and chronic drinking play important roles in detecting alcohol use, abuse and dependence in hospital settings, work place settings, traffic medicine and in forensic toxicology examinations.
