What the laboratory says this test is for

The test is a screening assay using a homogeneous enzyme immunoassay method of analysis. Presumptive positive screen results are reflexed to a more specific and sensitive liquid chromatography mass spectroscopy (LC/MS/MS) test. Therapeutic urine drug monitoring is important for ensuring compliance to treatment strategies, as well as ensuring non-diversion for illicit purposes. Urine or oral fluid are the specimens of choice for routine monitoring of patients taking prescription drugs. Use of serum/plasma should be limited to anuretic patients, or where a patient's clinical appearance does not coincide with their prescribed medications. No single monitoring approach provides adequate information about the pattern or dose of patient drug use. Safest prescribing habits should include a combination of tools and laboratory test results to correctly detect drug use patterns. Urine drug test results equal to or greater than cutoff are reported as positive and results less than cutoff are reported as negative. Quantitative values cannot be used to assess the drug dose, because the drug is extensively metabolized and excreted in the urine.

The benzodiazepine class of drugs are traditionally classified as depressants. They are used therapeutically to produce sedation, induce sleep, relieve anxiety, treat muscle spasms, and to prevent seizures. In general, benzodiazepines act as hypnotics in high doses, anxiolytics in moderate doses, and sedatives in low doses. The test is a screening assay using a homogeneous enzyme immunoassay method of analysis. Presumptive positive screen results are reflexed to a more specific and sensitive liquid chromatography mass spectroscopy (LC/MS/MS) methodology. Therapeutic urine drug monitoring of the benzodiazepines is important for ensuring compliance to treatment strategies, as well as ensuring non-diversion for illicit purposes.

Benzodiazepines are widely used as anxiolytics, sedative- hypnotics, muscle relaxants, and anticonvulsants. Benzodiazepines include drugs such as diazepam Valium®, chlordiazepoxide Librium®, oxazepam Serax®, lorazepam Ativan®, alprazolam Xanax®, clonazepam Clonopin® and triazolam Halcion®. Many common benzodiazepines are detected in urine by their metabolites oxazepam and nordiazepam. Psychological and physiological addictions, misuse and abuse of benzodiazepines have been described.
