Drug tests

What does it mean when the results of a drug screen fail with reason "abnorrmal characteristics"

[Ashelen]

The following criteria constituted abnormal urine UDS.
1. The presence of any illicit drugs i.e., cocaine, heroin, phencyclidine, amphetamine
2. The presence of marijuana (if not reported prior to testing)
3. The presence of opioids other than those prescribed by the clinic and if not reported by the subjects prior to drug screening
4. The inability to detect a prescribed opioid when patient reports of recent and regular use on the pre drug screen questionnaire
5. The refusal to take the urine drug screen
6. If there is evidence of tampering with the urine specimen i.e., abnormal specific gravity, urinary creatinine and Ph


do you think you got an inaccurate result?

Wow, Ashelen, I'm in awe.

LOL I looked it up. There was a pdf file with like 5 pages worth of information about "abnormal" results so I found that list and copied it....I can't claim it as my own brilliance, just copy/paste magic. I was curious what the answer would be so I looked until I found that file and it had WAY more information than anyone would want or need because it was for a med school class.
