Gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT) is an objective blood biochemical marker of excessive alcohol intake; however, it has low sensitivity. This study tested the performance of the combined use of CAGE and GGT to screen problem drinking (PD), alcohol use disorder (AUD), and alcohol dependence (AD) %K CAGE %K gamma-glutamyl transferase %K alcohol use disorders identification test %K alcohol use disorder %K alcohol dependence %U https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6555263/
