Hello. : Hello. Your logic sounds correct. Your first result had a creatinine of 20 which is exactly at the cut off level for most labs. Most labs classifiy specimens with creatinine less than 20 mg/ml and specific gravity less than 1.003 as diluted samples. Thus your level was still very diluted; even though it met the actual cutoff score. As your creatinine levels rise, there will be less dilution of the benzodiazapine and so the values will be more accurate. Normal creatinine ranges for males is about 44 to 250 mg/ml and normal specific gravity is 1.002 - 1.030.

Dont understand ?: Why you would be tested for drugs after a heart attack, i don't know. However, if you were treated with valium by doctors, this is not "failing" a drug test. When you first get a drug, it has not been metabolized yet, and drug tests measure the metabolites usually, not the parent drug. So a test becomes more positive as you metabolize more of the drug, which takes time.Initial urine was dilute.
