Panel O-792441 drug test

Nurses Recovery

Published

I am in the Kentucky board of nursing recovery program. I've been in it 2 years now. I have passed all my drops 100%. I got an abnormal result on 9/29. I emailed my case Manager and explained that I've had severe stomach problems and have been dehydrated so she explained that it probably affected the chemistry of my urine so im not in trouble. I am dropping today for a panel I've never seen before

Panel O-792441 through lab corp. I can't find anywhere of what that test is. Anyone know??

Probably PEth if it's a blood test.

We had an O panel drug test a few times here in FL.. it was at LabCorp and it was $80 instead of $55. It was still a urine test, just more specific.. I think it tested more specific opiates.

Yes. I'm in Florida. But after dilute or abnormal they like blood or hair.

How much was the test??

I second this. In my NSG, we all were talking a few months back how this "O" test popped up for all of us and no one knew what it was. It is urine, not blood, and I've heard it screens for more substances. I do not think you got this test due to your abnormal. Everyone in FL seems to be getting at least one. DOn't worry!

Exactly! Same here..one person came in and had gotten the O panel, then a few other people did, and it made the rounds to everyone lol. Everyone was so confused.

Gabby- I did not see that it said blood? It was my understanding that it was the urine as mentioned above.

Whatever it is, like RSW1960 said, don't worry :)

I got the special o-panels urine like everyone else in Florida

But I have gotten a separate special o-panel after I had a couple dilute/abnormal urines. Blood PEth for alcohol.

If if you look at Ipn policy if a dilute or abnormal urine in the last year in a contract, they can require PEth and hair test. A girl in my group had a abnormal urine 1 month before contract end. She was extended 6 more months and had PEth and hair test.

They never used to do anything for a abnormal/dilute urine. I know of some that have never had additional testing. Depends on case manager and individual participant.

This test also came back abnormal. No clue why. I haven't done anything that would cause an abnormal. I'm screwed

I stopped have abnormal when I stopped drinking any caffeine 8 hrs prior. No diuretic like my hctz bp med. I would have eat a high protein meal then I would void at least 2 hrs before test. Have protein shake or milk, limit any liquid intake 2 hrs before.

Some individuals never have problems. I know of nurses that drink whatever they want and never have an abnormal/dilute.

Are you taking different medications or drinking excess fluids?

I think you said you were sick.

I've been in the program 2 years and I've never had this happen. I don't drink any more or less than usual. And yeah I have been sick real bad. I guess an MRO will have to contact me and I think I'll have to get a note from my doc saying it's health reasons. I'm just really scared!!!

I have a high protein shake before I go and only sips of a sugar free fruit drink. That fixed the Abnormal results for me.

Any update with your abnormally????
