Clinical Information
Discusses physiology, pathophysiology, and general clinical aspects, as they relate to a laboratory test
Discusses physiology, pathophysiology, and general clinical aspects, as they relate to a laboratory test
Cocaine is a drug of current health concern because of its proliferation among recreational drug abusers.
Freebase and crack increase the potential for major cocaine toxicity. Cocaine use is declining across the nation according to the National Institute of Drug Abuse.
Increasingly, laboratory results are disputed or there are medical/legal overtones. Therefore, physicians are finding an increased need to confirm positive results before informing or confronting the patients.
Reference Values
Describes reference intervals and additional information for interpretation of test results. May include intervals based on age and sex when appropriate. Intervals are Mayo-derived, unless otherwise designated. If an interpretive report is provided, the reference value field will state this.

Negative
Positive results are reported with a quantitative GC-MS result.
Cutoff concentrations:
COCAINE BY GC-MS
<50 ng/mL
BENZOYLECGONINE BY GC-MS
<50 ng/mL
Interpretation

Provides information to assist in interpretation of the test results
Reports will specifically indicate the presence or absence of cocaine and benzoylecgonine.
The presence of cocaine, or its major metabolite, benzoylecgonine, indicates use within the past 4 days.
Cocaine has a 6-hour half-life, so it will be present in urine for 1 day after last use.
Benzoylecgonine has a half-life of 12 hours, so it will be detected in urine up to 4 days after last use.
There is no correlation between concentration and pharmacologic or toxic effects.
Cautions

To accommodate the need to confirm specifically the presence of cocaine in urine, Mayo Clinic Laboratories offers a single test to identify cocaine and its principal metabolite, benzoylecgonine, by using gas chromatography/mass spectrometry.(Chinn DM, Crouch DJ, Peat MA, et al: Gas chromatography-chemical ionization mass spectrometry of cocaine and its metabolites in biological fluids. J Anal Toxicol 1980;4:37-42)

Day(s) Performed
Outlines the days the test is performed. This field reflects the day that the sample must be in the testing laboratory to begin the testing process and includes any specimen preparation and processing time before the test is performed. Some tests are listed as continuously performed, which means that assays are performed multiple times during the day.
