Thanks for asking in HCM.
Do not worry.
Your cdt test value is within normal range. Cdt test very sensitive test. If you consume alcohol one night before test it can increase it. This enzyme increases when their is liver parenchymal injury. Increase means more than 2%.
Nothing to worry.

Thank you for the answer. I am hoping you could explain the % ranges or guide me where I can find it. I had the tests done with XXXXXXX Nicolaides Pathology and have got no information to support or explain the results as also my doctor is not familiar with this test. I have a court case coming up and hope to use this to support myself that I am not an alcoholic that my ex partner is claiming. I do not know whether pathologies have different ranges but as SNP was 1.6% and mine was 1.8% I have to explain if I am in the normal range as you said which I agree with you why am outside the range. I have extensively researched but cannot find any explanation to back up the results. I know your service is not valid for court but some extra information would be greatly appreciated..Thank you.
