Nombres alternativos

Examen o análisis de drogas en orina

Valores normales:

Ausencia de drogas en la orina.

Significado de los resultados anormales:

Si el examen resulta positivo, es bueno confirmarlo con una cromatografía de gases acoplada a espectrometría de masas (CG/EM). En algunos casos, un examen arrojará un resultado falso positivo. Esto puede deberse a factores de interferencia como algunos alimentos, medicamentos recetados por el médico y otras drogas.

La cromatografía de gases acoplada a espectrometría de masas ayuda a diferenciar entre un resultado falso positivo o un positivo verdadero que ocurre debido a la presencia de una droga ilícita.
