A member asked:
What's the difference between a lab urine test and a regular drug sreen?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Purpose: Routine urinalysis looks for disease such as kidney or bladder trouble, diabetes and so forth. Urine screening for drugs looks for metabolites of recreational drugs in the urine. They are totally separate and your physician won't check you for drugs in the office.
