Good morning Hayley,

Unfortunately we have limited information regarding the CDT test that the DVLA order. My colleague and I have been trying to find additional reliable information for you this morning but we have not been successful.

We would suggest to consider contacting the DVLA directly

gov.uk/contact-the-dvla

for CDT test information and also to contact your own liver specialist who may well be able to provide some clear guidance around this.

We apologise that we cannot help you more in this regard.

Hi there, it's not whilst 17th I did speak with the liver consultant on Tuesday as I was worried about the liver cirrhosis giving a false reading but he said it won't.

Thank you for thinking of me and I'll message you when I've had it and what results I get back.

Take care

Hayley 😃

Hi There, Today I went for my CDT Test all very formal, alcohol questionnaire that the doctor fills out, tummy examination, blood pressure, listened to my heart and lungs and then a blood test, the doctor was so lovely she was telling me how her dad died from alcoholism very easy to talk to left feeling positive I will be back with DVLA outcome ...... Best wishes Hayley 😃😃

I'm so glad for you Hayley, all positive stuff. I'm also glad the doctor confided in you about her father. I think you'll be on the road again pretty soon.

Well done

Richard
