About Nicotine Metabolite Screen, Blood in Greensboro
This blood test detects nicotine metabolites, the substances formed as the body processes nicotine.
Nicotine is metabolized primarily in the liver, where it is converted into compounds such as cotinine and trans-3'-hydroxycotinine. These metabolites remain detectable in blood for longer than nicotine itself, making them useful markers of exposure.
The screen typically measures cotinine, the principal metabolite, and may include other related compounds depending on the laboratory method. Because nicotine is present in tobacco products and some nicotine replacement therapies, a positive result indicates exposure to nicotine from any source.
Blood is the sample type for this test, and results are generally available within a few business days. Preparation instructions should be followed as provided by the laboratory performing the analysis.
