Ethyl Glucuronide, Urine - Screen with Reflex to Confirmation/Quantitation : 2003189

Mnemonic: ETHYL GLUC

Ordering Recommendation:	Use to identify recent (1 day to 1 week) use of ethanol. However, a positive result is relatively non-specific for detecting intentional ethanol ingestion and may, instead, reflect use of ethanol-containing personal care products such as hand sanitizers and mouthwashes.
Methodology:	Qualitative Enzyme Immunoassay/Quantitative High Performance Liquid Chromatography-Tandem Mass Spectrometry
Performed:	Varies
Reported:	3-10 days
Specimen Required:	Collect: Random urine Specimen Preparation: Transfer 3 mL urine to an ARUP Standard Transport Tube. (Min: 1.45 mL) Storage/Transport Temperature: Refrigerated. Also acceptable: Room temperature or frozen. Stability (collection to initiation of testing): Ambient: 20 days; Refrigerated: 20 days; Frozen: 20 days

Reference Interval: By report
Note:	If screen is positive, then confirmation will be added at no additional charge.
CPT Code(s):	80101; if positive add 82055
Cross References:	EtG (Ethyl Glucuronide, Urine - Screen with Reflex to Confirmation/Quantitation), Ethanol Metabolite (Ethyl Glucuronide, Urine - Screen with Reflex to Confirmation/Quantitation)
