Why would you have a positive ETG but negative ETOH screen?

Ethylglucuronide, ETG, is a direct metabolite of ethanol that forms in the liver only as a result of ethanol consumption. Therefore, even after ethanol, ETOH, has been completely removed from the bloodstream (by metabolism in the liver), there should still be ETG in the bloodstream. Thus, it is possible to have a positive ETG test even if an ETOH test is negative (indicating no ETOH left in the bloodstream).


How does ethanol treat methanol poisoning?

Methanol isn't actually poisonous, but the chemicals produced when your body metabolises methanol are. The enzymes that metabolise methanol also metabolise ethanol, but when both are present the ethanol is processed first. Methanol is also removed from the body via the lungs, sweat glands and in urine. Giving ethanol prevents the toxic by products of metabolism whilst these other methods remove the methanol from their system. This treatment only works if given early. It does not reverse the the damage done by methanol that has already been metabolised.
