Chronic alcohol consumption is strongly associated with disruption of the blood–brain barrier (BBB), neuroinflammation, and long-term cognitive decline. Even moderate but sustained drinking can cause subtle but measurable molecular changes that increase vulnerability to neurodegeneration, mood disorders, and memory impairment.

The Alcohol Use Disorder-Dx service applies the BBBNeuro-Dx biomarker platform to detect alcohol-related BBB disruption patterns, giving patients and providers objective insight into the neurological impact of alcohol use.

Why This Test Matters

Key Benefits

Objective Evidence

Detects BBB damage and neuroinflammation caused by alcohol exposure.

Early Detection

Identifies neurological risks before cognitive symptoms become apparent.

Personalized Recovery Support

Provides actionable data to guide treatment and rehabilitation strategies.

Progress Monitoring

Track biomarker improvements over time in patients reducing or abstaining from alcohol.

Physician-Ready Report Included

Reliable Results You Can Trust

Biomarkers Assessed

Our Alcohol Use Disorder-Dx panel examines a comprehensive set of biomarkers to give a clear, science-based picture of alcohol’s impact on brain health:

  • BBB structural proteins affected by alcohol-induced permeability

  • Inflammatory cytokines linked to neuroinflammation (IL-6, TNF-α, CRP)

  • Neurodegenerative injury markers (e.g., GFAP, NfL)

  • Oxidative stress and liver-brain axis biomarkers
