Does THC Show Up In Urine Test?

hello, i'm 17, from brazil. i've got a real simple situation. i made use of recreational cannabis about 2 weeks ago (jan 8th to be exact) and i am about to do a urine test. i'm not a constant user of the drug although i also did use it on the day before (the 7th), but before that only a few times about 6 months ago. i'm 6'2'' and weight about 200 pounds, and have 19% of body fat. i'm pretty sure i'm not doing this urine test as a drug test, just a regular body check up (creatine level, uric acid, urea) but i would like to know if the THC will show up in any of these tests. i think its important to mention it was hash, which THC levels are very above average marijuana.

hi
thanks for using healthcare magic

THC is fat soluble and it could stay in body even for one month. Half life of THC is 2 to 10 days and it need five half life to take it out of body. If u haven't taken it for two weeks, still there are chances it could be detected in urine test. In Blood, it half life is less and hardly stay more than 2 days. In regular check up, renal function test and liver function test is done. These test do not detect THC. Dont worry about it.

Thanks
