Ther Drug Monit. 2017 Jun;39(3):205-207. doi: 10.1097/FTD.0000000000000397.

Abstract

We present here an example of urine substituted with a yellow cleaning product that leads us to develop the main risks to consider in urine toxicology analysis, ie, adulteration and analytical interferences, and how to deal with them. This grand round highlights the importance of the dialog between the clinician and a TDM consultant for optimal care of the patient.
