On Sensitivity, Specificity, and the Influence of Various Parameters on Ethyl Glucuronide Levels in Urine—Results From the WHO/ISBRA Study

Age, gender, marijuana use, kidney disease, and total grams of ethanol consumed last month should be taken into consideration when interpreting results of EtG in urine. Sensitivity and specificity seem promising. Cannabis use can be regarded as an indicator for other serious mental problems in alcohol-using subjects.
