CDT (Carbohydrate-Deficient Transferrin)
A CDT blood test measures carbohydrate-deficient transferrin, a biomarker that indicates chronic heavy alcohol consumption over the preceding weeks.
GGT (Gamma-Glutamyl Transferase)
GGT is a sensitive liver enzyme that can be influenced by hormonal factors.
LDH (Lactate Dehydrogenase)
LDH is an enzyme, a protein that speeds up the conversion of lactate in cells.
Lipase
Lipase is a key pancreatic enzyme for fat digestion.

A liver function test offers a complete overview of liver health, which is important for women at every life stage.
