Urine was one of the first biological specimens to be employed for the detection of poisoning and is still widely used as a matrix for detecting the presence of drugs in clinical, workplace and forensic toxicology. The chapter outlines the formation and composition of urine in relation to drug excretion and analysis, discusses the application of urinalysis in clinical, forensic and workplace drug screening and summarises the merits and limitations of urine as a testing matrix. A review of advances in the analytical methods used for urinalysis is presented. |
