What Does Amphetamines Level In My Urine Test Result Indicate?

default
Posted on Wed, 28 May 2014
Question: I received urine test results back indicating:

Amphetamines: 4117 NG/ML (adderall)
Lorazepam: 1333 NG/ML

Can you tell me what this indicates in terms of how much was in my system at the time of testing? Thank you!

Brief Answer:
Get it through lab testing.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Urine starts excreting the metabolites beyond certain threshold level in the blood. This varies from person to person. It is better to get the serum levels from the labs and cannot be calculated. If someone asks me in my clinic I would simply refer them to lab.

This is a tough question and it is not regularly practiced by clinicians.
