Question : Hi, would a CMP, CBCD or AIC blood test show any trace of cocaine use. Stupidly I did it with old college friends wit5hout thinking, now I am sick with worry
Brief Answer:
Any evidence of cocaine in the blood following cocaine usage?
Detailed Answer:
Hello Ms. Crowley and welcome to Ask a Doctor. I have read your query and here is my advice.
Cocaine is not identified in any of the blood tests you mention.
A urine test will detect a breakdown product of cocaine in the urine for 2-3 days after the last use.
Cocaine can predispose users to blockage of blood vessels resulting in heart attack as well as affecting other organs.
If you do not have any need for clarification, you can close the discussion, and rate the answer. Wish you good health.
