Another dilute urine for IPN

Published

I have been batteling with "peeing perfect" for the last 11 months. Either I don't make enough urine for the sample, or when I do, its too dilute. I'm not trying to hide anything, but IPN is treating me as if I am. My question is, isn't there a test that they can run which will actually show the presence of adulterants? I don't mean the normal SVT (which looks at specific gravity, creatinine and ph), but a test that would show if you tried using a masking agent or something to obscure the results. I have no other way to prove to them that I am not intentionally trying to influence my results. I have already had to do a repeat evaluation and have had the whole big toxicology work up, had numerous repeat urines and I have come up clean. I ended up having another dilute urine last week, and now I'm terrified of what will happen next. The last urine they ordered had some other add on test to it, so I am hoping that was a way to detect dilution or adulterants so that I can be cleared of this and return to work.  Has anyone faced a similar situation?

I'm all in with you. It seems that there should be another forum to discuss monitoring programs (IPN). I don't necessarily trust that this public forum isn't monitored by big brother. I also feel like we really need our own support group where we are independent and can support eachother, help those just entering ( not our facilitated groups obviously because everything you say there goes right to your case manager). Thoughts? Ideas? 

Hello @Quickstepper,

There is a way to have a more private area to discuss monitoring programs.

You can start a CLUB in the allnurses Breakroom Club.

Go here and click, START A BREAKROOM CLUB. 

Then, when that page opens, scroll to and click:

Everyone can see the club and who's in it, but only members of the Club can see posts and participate. Users need to ask a leader to join.
