Ethyl glucuronide (EtG) is a metabolite of ethanol which is formed in the body by glucuronidation following exposure to ethanol, usually from drinking alcoholic beverages. It is used as a biomarker to test for ethanol use and to monitor alcohol abstinence in situations where drinking is prohibited, such as by the military, in alcohol treatment programs, in professional monitoring programs (health professionals, attorneys, airline pilots in recovery from addictions), in schools, liver transplant clinics, or in recovering alcoholic patients. In addition to its use to monitor abstinence and detect drinking, EtG also has potential for monitoring the amount of alcohol use over time because it can be detected in hair and nails, though the effectiveness of this has not yet been proven.

| - Ethylglucuronid (kurz: EtG) ist eine organische Verbindung, eine natürlich vorkommende cyclische Carbonsäure, ein Derivat der Glucuronsäure. Im Menschen ist es ein Produkt des Abbaus von Ethanol und kommt ausschließlich als β-Anomer vor. EtG wird in geringen Mengen nach Alkoholkonsum erzeugt und verteilt sich im Körper. Einmal in den Haaren, wird es nicht weiter abgebaut und kann so, neuerdings auch immunologisch oder mittels LC/MS, nachgewiesen werden. (de)

- Glukuronid etylu, EtG – organiczny związek chemiczny z grupy glukuronidów, glikozyd etylowy kwasu glukuronowego. W organizmach żywych tworzy się w wyniku glikozylacji etanolu kwasem UDP-glukuronowym, katalizowanej przez enzym . Jego obecność we krwi człowieka świadczy o spożyciu etanolu nawet do 5 dni przed wykonaniem testu. Z tego względu badanie obecności glukuronidu etylu w organizmie jest szeroko stosowane w programach leczenia uzależnień (np. w Stanach Zjednoczonych od 2003 roku), jako badanie monitorujące abstynencję.

In addition to its use to monitor abstinence and detect drinking, EtG also has potential for monitoring the amount of alcohol use over time because it can be detected in hair and nails, though the effectiveness of this has not yet been proven. A disadvantage of the test is that because EtG can be detected in samples at very low levels, it can also be positive after exposure to alcohol from non-beverage sources, or incidental exposure, which can lead to false positives. The sources of possible exposure in the environment are numerous and include alcohol in mouthwash, foods, over-the-counter medications, and even from inhalation of alcohol from topical use. It is impossible with this biomarker to distinguish small amounts of drinking from extraneous exposure to alcohol. (en)
