It was the Caffiene clearance test. One place said it was

a saliva test and another place (Medscape) said it was a

breath test. They give a person a certain amount of caffiene

early in the morning and then check how much is cleared from

the plasma at night. It was suppose to eliminate the need for

expensive liver biopsies and was shown to be a valued test.

Yet, I've never heard of anyone having one of these tests.

The article on Medscape was dated Nov 2003. I'm surprised

by this and thought I would share it with you. If you find

out anymore about it, please fill me in on it. I'm having

trouble with my computer moving so slow and I know it is

my server not letting the pages go through.
