| Note |
Ethylglucuronide is a metabolite of ethanol and therefore a very sensitive and specific marker for alcohol intake. Ethylglucuronide has a longer half-life in urine than ethanol. An elevated Ethylglucuronide value in urine detects alcohol intake for a maximum of 80 hours. Ethylglucuronide values can be altered by bacterial influence. |
