Laboratory assay overview

This test measures blood levels of Phosphatidylethanol (PEth), an alcohol-specific biomarker. PEth may be detectable in blood for approximately 2 to 3 weeks1 following a period of prolonged, regular alcohol consumption or incidents of "binge" or heavy drinking. It is a reliable objective biomarker for validating self-reported consumption and can be used serially to monitor treatment progress over time.

PEth levels in excess of 20 ng/mL are considered evidence of moderate to heavy ethanol consumption.

Verify these ranges and sources

We compile every detail above directly from named laboratory directories and published clinical studies. Laboratories calculate standard reference intervals from the statistical distribution of tested populations for a specific assay method and demographic group, rather than setting universal optimal targets.
