Asialotransferrin

Disialotransferrin

Pentasialotransferrin

Tetrasialotransferrin

Trisialotransferrin

Clinical relevance

Excessive alcohol consumption leads to specific changes in the glycosylation pattern of transferrin. This results in the increasing formation of asialo- and disialotransferrin in the serum, which are referred to as Carbohydrate-Deficient-Transferrins (CDT). CDT and in particular disialotransferrin is regarded as the most specific and most sensitive laboratory marker of chronic alcohol abuse. A daily intake of more than 60 g ethanol (about 0.75 l wine) over a longer period elevates CDT values significantly. These return to normal after alcohol abstinence. This makes CDT an excellent parameter for controlling withdrawal treatment, forensic assessment or in occupational medicine.

 

Product advantages

  • Specific marker for chronic alcohol abuse
  • Run time of less than 10 min
  • Detection of genetic variants
  • Traceable to the IFCC reference measurement procedure

This Chromsystems assay is designed for the specific and fast determination of CDT in serum with a ternary HPLC gradient system. During sample preparation, lipoproteins are removed by precipitation with simultaneous iron saturation. The chromatography enables a very good separation of asialo-Tf, disialo-Tf and trisialo-Tf in less than 6 minutes. The transferrins are separated using two mobile phases, thereafter the column is cleaned with a third mobile phase.


This method is traceable to the IFCC reference measurement procedure (IFCC-RMP) and certified accordingly. It can therefore be used to determine CDTIFCC (CDT as disialotransferrin).
