ETG Levels Over Time

Understanding ETG Reduction

ETG (ethyl glucuronide) is a metabolite formed in the body after alcohol consumption. Reducing ETG levels depends on metabolism, liver function, body weight, hydration, and drinking habits. The Reducing ETG Calculator helps visualize how ETG declines over time, showing approximate hours for clearance below standard cutoffs like 100, 200, and 500 ng/mL.

Factors Affecting ETG Reduction

Metabolism: Faster metabolism accelerates ETG elimination.
Body Weight & Composition: Lower body weight often leads to higher ETG concentrations.
Hydration: Proper hydration can slightly dilute ETG, but lab tests adjust for urine concentration.
Liver Function: Healthy liver function ensures efficient alcohol and ETG clearance.
Alcohol Quantity: More alcohol consumed = longer detection window.

Typical ETG Cutoffs & Detection Time

Detection windows vary by test sensitivity:

100 ng/mL — high sensitivity, used in rehabilitation and strict monitoring.
200 ng/mL — moderate sensitivity.
500 ng/mL — standard probation or workplace cutoff.

How to Use the Reducing ETG Calculator

Input your current ETG level (ng/mL) based on recent lab tests.
Enter your body weight and gender for personalized estimates.
Provide the hours since your last drink.
Click “Estimate ETG Reduction” to visualize the decay curve and detection window.

Practical Tips to Reduce ETG Levels

Avoid alcohol-containing products like mouthwash or hand sanitizer before testing.
Stay hydrated to maintain normal urine concentration.
Track drinking habits to better estimate ETG clearance.
