About Oxycodone/Oxymorphone and Metabolite Screen, Urine in Alexandria
This assay targets a specific opioid subclass rather than the entire opioid family, which makes it useful when a focused answer is needed.
Oxycodone is a semi-synthetic opioid prescribed for moderate to severe pain. In the body it is converted in part to oxymorphone, a more potent metabolite, and both compounds can be measured in urine. The screen therefore reports on the parent drug and its principal metabolic product, giving a broader picture of recent use than a single-analyte assay.
Urine is the specimen of choice because these drugs and their conjugates are excreted renally and remain detectable for a practical window after the last dose. Detection times vary with dose, frequency of use, individual metabolism, and hydration status, so a negative result does not by itself prove abstinence and a positive result does not by itself establish impairment.
Laboratories typically use an immunoassay as the initial screen and confirm presumptive positives with a chromatographic method such as gas chromatography-mass spectrometry or liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. Confirmatory testing identifies the specific compound and can distinguish oxycodone from oxymorphone and from other opioids that may cross-react on the initial screen.
