Avatar m tn Don't worry about the silly test. If it's a urine test the medications will show up in your urine, especially the methadone. It has a very long half life. Please reconsider the way you are taking your medication and be honest with your self and the doctors. You will be much better off in the short and long run. good luck.
Avatar n tn When they test for M'done in urine (at least on a clinic) they test for it's metabolite (called EDDP for short) & it's ratio to creatinine levels, There is a drug called Bentyl (Dicycloverine) prescribed for IBS that can potentially cause a false positive. There may be others too. It also depends on how good the lab is that is doing the testing. Sometimes there's sloppy work or cross-contamination, particularly in the 'collection' phase. I'd request a retest.
Avatar f tn we had a urine test done which came back positive. I need help understanding the results. the results cutoff point is 100 ng/ml however the results were much higher(in the thousands). What does this mean. we need to know how many pills they took. Can anyone please help?
Avatar f tn s true if you have really lower levels or low rising levels you might only get a positive on a blood test. most urine tests will show a positive at 25 mil HCG however I have had friends who just never got a positive on a urine test they had to do a blood test.
Avatar f tn week ago I have taken for at home pregnancy test and they were all positive the doctor also gave me a urine test Athat was positive now I decided to take another one and its positive but the second line is very light what could this be.
Avatar f tn Well I got my test results back from the urine test and my iodine levels are 24 and the levels SHOULD be 45. So what does that mean. Am I hypo? I was given a prescription for Iodoral to take every other day for the next month. I don't know anything about Iodoral and I was expecting the doctor to say I might need Armour or something. I hope Iodoral will be able to help with the weight gain and my temperature extremes.
336365 tn?1213319598 If we use this to assess your crea levels (at 55) , this will appear highly elevated. But urine creatinine levels will show acceptable values which is normal at greater than 20 mg/dl. Blood creatinine levels:  Adult men: 0.6 to 1.3 mg/dl  Adult women: slightly lower than men due to less muscle mass  Children: 0.2 to 1.0 mg/dl Source: http://www.chfpatients.com/tests/routine_tests.htm#creatinine http://www.bloodbook.com/ranges.
Avatar n tn Sorry to be so non-specific in my answer but as Itried to indicate above, the real test for HIV is not a bunch of non-specific findings such as ALTs, urine proteins and IgE levels, it is the HIV antibody test. If you are worried get one and then believe the results you get.
Avatar f tn i would suggest using the first response early response pregnancy test . that test said i was prego before the doctors urine tests. the day my hcg was only a 7 i went and got a first response and used it just out of curiousity and it came up a faint positive so they must work!!! anyways best of luck!!
Avatar m tn That looks very normal. My doc would be happy with that. But you need more than one to really know. One test is just one test. Several over time show the picture better IMHO.
Avatar n tn Nope they read the same levels. I would say you are pregnant.
Avatar f tn Low sensitivity tests also influence it, as they need high levels of the hormone present to detect it. If you read the pregnancy test box it should say first morning urine is recommended as well.
Avatar n tn Did anyone have really low early levels as compared to the norm? Is it even possible to be 3 1/2 weeks post conception and have hCG levels so low they are undetectable in urine? I've read that First Response Early Results can detect around 25 mIU/UL, and even as low as 12.5. I took one today with first morning urine and got a negative.
1756475 tn?1330538713 Which is high levels of protein in ur urine and it also cause high bp. They will do many cath samples of urine and if it gets to bad the will induce labor. but they monitor u because if ur bp becomes a problem they can give u meds in ur iv when u deliver to bring it down.
Avatar n tn Is it possible to have a negative urine pregnancy test and then have a positive blood test? Next fri. I am to go in and do a urine test and a blood test. They said I would get the urine test right away but the blood test they would have to call me later on. Just wondering if I get a negative urine test is there still hope for pregnancy? Also they transferred 2 embryos so would you be able to tell if there are still 2 if the HCG level is high?
Avatar f tn Did you have a pos urine test?
Avatar f tn Have any of you had to do a 24 hour urine collection test to check for high blood pressure ? My ob wants the test to make sure I don't end up.with pre eclampsia. The thing I don't understand is I'm only 15 weeks and I didn't have this test with my first son. Also how can they tell from urine?
Avatar f tn After 7 at home positive urine test, 1 negative doctors urine test and a positive blood test, I'm officially pregnant!! This is my second pregnancy. Here's the thing, my hcg levels were 778 on Monday, which puts me around 3 weeks on the chart. BUT with my first pregnancy, my levels were really low. My doctor went by the first day of my last menstrual cycle. If I did that this time. I would be 7 weeks 5 days. Dies this make any sense?
Avatar m tn i have only tried it once and havent since. I didnt think anything of my urine test i took yesterday because (H) would show up as an opiate and i am prescribed opiates, BUT i found out that the doctor is sending the test to get the levels of opiate and oxycodone etc. i kno for sure that its going to show up higher than it should. Is there anyting that i can say i took that raised my levels so high like morphine or i ate three times my dose of dialated?
Avatar f tn Has anyone else ever had to do a 24 hour urine collection test? Im 13 weeks pregnant with my 4th child and ive never had to do this test before its got me kinda stressed.
Avatar m tn The Dr I used to see in ALA said there are too many variables to add or delete in urine level test so to get a accurate test of level you need blood work done. Ask for a blood work drug level test to get the accurate results.
Avatar f tn Mostly for protein in your urine they compare your levels to see f you are developing preeclampsia
Avatar f tn A blood pregnancy test does nothing but test for hormone levels. So no, there's no point in having one done if you already know you're pregnant.
Avatar f tn I don't necessarily think its fully the tests fault. I tested positive a week before my period on a Walmart 88¢ one. When my blood tests were done my hcg levels were surprisingly high. It depends on your hcg levels when you test. Some women won't test positive for a week or two after their missed period on store bought tests. Or you just might not be pregnant.
Avatar n tn ve heard that diuretic medications can cause a false negative pregnancy test. I can see how this would interfere with a urine test if the diuretic is diluting the urine, but can it also cause lower levels of hCG to show up in the blood? Also, another awful thought is if levels of hCG are too low to detect in the blood 25 days after conception could that mean miscarriage or something wrong with a pregnancy?
