Can Kidney Disease Cause False Positive For Methamphetamine

Updated

Questions to ask a lab tech: I have a kidney disease. Is it possible that this is the reason why my urine test keeps coming back positive for methamphetamine? If so, why is this? I'm not a drug user.

Hello, Lisa! How are you? I am so sorry about what has happened to you.

Are you on any medications?

Many, such as cold remedies, allergy remedies, decongestants and diet pills have been known to cause positives for various types of amphetamines, including methamphetamine, as reported by the NIH.

And yes, they also report that various kidney diseases and infections have resulted in such.

Is there anything else I can help with?

I just tested positive for methamphetamine and never have touched it. I take amitriptyline and lasix and amlodipine and I have chronic kidney disease and a iliostomy. Can any of this cause a false positive? I asked them to draw blood they refused and said he can't be my doctor anymore.
