Blood ETG
In the medical industry, human blood is often regarded as the “gold standard” for detecting drugs in the body due to its accuracy and ability to reflect recent substance use. One of the substances tested in blood for alcohol consumption is EtG (Ethyl Glucuronide). EtG is a metabolite of alcohol, and its presence in the blood can indicate recent alcohol consumption, even after the effects of alcohol have worn off. The ETG test is particularly useful in determining whether someone has consumed alcohol within a specific window of time.
However, it’s important to understand the limitations of EtG testing. EtG levels in the blood fall exponentially with a half-life of approximately 2 to 3 hours, which means the test can only detect alcohol consumption within a limited time frame. Depending on the alcohol dose consumed and the individual’s metabolism, EtG can be detected in the blood for a period ranging from 6 to 18 hours. This makes it an ideal test for confirming recent alcohol use, but it cannot detect alcohol consumption beyond this window.
