Abnormal urine

Hello. So FSS started using a new portal and system check in a while back and I've noticed a few of my results are "redacted" and abnormal but not dilute. Not positive either What could that be? They won't tell me anything at the lab.  The last time I had one I asked my interim CM and never got a response so I'm assuming it's nothing bad just wondering why it would come back like that. TIA

    Abnormal essentially means something was off about the urine sample, but not significantly enough to be considered dilute. To quote the RAMP handbook:

    "An abnormal result usually means that the creatinine and/or specific gravity of the specimen are below or above normal limits. It can also mean the temperature and /or color is outside of normal limits. Additional testing may be required."

    It's happened to me once or twice. Basically, they'll send you for a blood test the next day and as long as that comes back clean you're fine. Abnormal tests won't be held against you as a positive (like a dilute would) unless it starts to happen frequently.

    I am also using FSS, and am in NC. I just registered on new portal, but haven't started testing yet.

    They have started a new check in process as of last week and its created some problems at the testing site so we've basically been doing it the old way still until they figure it out. Nothing ever came of the "abnormal urine" they said it could be something as little as the COC not being filled out right or the color of the urine being off.
