A member asked:
In a urinalysis, will you get a definitive result when the urine is diluted and almost clear in color due to water intake?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
This will depend on the sensitivity of the test. Ask the lab. You may get negative results especially with dipstick. Try abstaining if getting tested for drugs.n. Again ask lab.
