A member asked:

Does synthetic urine work? and how do a ua detect fake urine

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Need more info: There is no such thing as synthetic urine. Some body may be peddling it to scam people. Depending on the nature of the "fake" urine and the tests done, adulterants can be detected. Dilute urine can be picked up due to low concentration of creatinine.
