Oxycodone concentration in urine (24-hour collection)

This test helps your doctor find out whether a certain condition may be present in your body. The results provide important information that guides decisions about your diagnosis and your treatment plan going forward.

Your healthcare provider may order this test if you have concerns about opioid use, are undergoing treatment for pain management, or are part of a drug screening program. It can also be used in workplace or legal settings to detect recent opioid exposure.

The test measures specific markers in the sample collected from you. When these markers appear at certain levels, they show how your body is functioning and help your care team confirm or rule out the condition being checked.

Oxycodone is collected in a 24-hour urine specimen. The sample is analyzed using a sensitive laboratory method to detect and quantify the drug. This method ensures accurate measurement of oxycodone levels, even at low concentrations.

A trained member of our staff will collect your sample using a simple, safe procedure. The collection usually takes only a few minutes, and you can go home right afterward and return to your normal daily routine.

You will be provided with a clean container and instructions to collect all urine produced in a 24-hour period, typically from one morning to the next morning. It’s important to follow these instructions precisely to ensure accurate results.

Before the test, your care team will explain each step and answer any questions you have. You may be given simple instructions, such as fasting for a period of time or pausing certain medicines, so follow them closely to help ensure your results are accurate.

No special preparation is needed, but you may be asked to avoid certain medications or substances that could interfere with the test results. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have allergies, let your healthcare provider know.
