Almost always, a visit to the doctor involves taking tests to identify abnormalities in the body’s functioning. Therefore, to study the physiological processes occurring every second in the human body, a general analysis of urine and blood is required.
Although research is not particularly difficult, it has long been possible to establish an accurate diagnosis and prescribe the correct treatment. However, not many patients can properly purify biological material so that they show reliable results.
It is known that urine consists almost entirely of water, which collects in the bladder as the body functions. Together with it, toxic substances, salts and other chemical compounds unnecessary for the body are removed.
The study of the chemical characteristics of urine allows us to identify a number of pathological processes, the manifestation of which has not yet appeared at the clinical stage. In addition, a general urine test helps diagnose a number of diseases:
- Kidney.
- Bladder.
- Liver.
- Prostate gland.
And first of all, the urinary system as a whole.
Submission of analysis
Everyone knows that the composition and color of urine can be affected by foods, drinks, physical and emotional stress, medications and biological supplements. Therefore, the day before submitting biological material, it is recommended:
- Exclude from your diet foods that can affect its color: beets, carrots, marinades, smoked meats.
- You cannot drink alcoholic beverages, coffee, strong tea, or drugs.
- Try to stick to a mixed diet, since similar foods can affect the composition of urine in a negative way.
- It is necessary to reduce the consumption of sweets; their excess can increase glucose levels.
- When visiting a doctor, you should inform him that the patient is taking medications. He may advise you to stop using them for this period. Because many drugs can change the biochemical analysis.
- Urine donation should be canceled during menstruation, increased blood pressure, and infectious diseases accompanied by fever. You should refrain from intimacy immediately before collecting urine.
But that’s not all; in order to obtain high-quality biological material, it is necessary to maintain personal hygiene. Be sure to wash your genitals or take a shower using neutral soap. Children's is best suited, as it has no odor and various chemical compounds.
Women's genital hygiene differs from men's. Due to the close location of the anus and the urethra, washing should be done from front to back to prevent pathogens from entering the rectum.
To collect urine, you need to use a sterile container, which you can buy at any pharmacy. As a rule, an average portion of urine is taken, that is, after excreting a small amount of urine, collect the required amount of urine. The best and quality indicators of biomaterial occur in the morning, half an hour before meals or two hours after breakfast.
It is recommended to deliver to the laboratory within three hours, which will ensure a truly clean analysis. Therefore, you should not collect urine in the evening, since long-term storage, even in the refrigerator, can lead to distortion of the indicators.
Test results after drinking alcohol
After the initial examination, a person may go to a friendly party and drink a little alcohol, forgetting about the doctor’s instructions. If the urine test was scheduled for the morning hours, there is no doubt about its meaninglessness.
Regardless of the amount taken, alcohol a couple of days before laboratory tests leads to a significant increase in uric acid. The lactate concentration increases markedly. In a similar way, alcohol does not affect glucose and triacylglycerides. In any case, a urine test will be completely inappropriate for making a diagnosis. It turns out that the content of the main components will be greatly overestimated.
The main task of the kidneys is to cleanse the body of toxic and waste substances. This internal organ is a kind of filter that allows you to isolate substances that are unnecessary for the body and remove them along with urine.
It is known that alcohol is a powerful poison, the breakdown of which results in the formation of toxic substances. The kidneys must cope with toxic substances and ensure their removal from the body. But at the same time, the body will lose enough fluid. As a result, after drinking alcohol, the urine turns out to be more concentrated than in the normal state without drinking alcohol. The level of key indicators will significantly exceed the norm.

Recommendations
Many patients are interested in how to clean urine if the test is negative. Before you try to cleanse your urine, you need to understand that bad urine is not a disease, it is a sign of a disorder in the body.
As a rule, in a healthy person, urine is a sterile biological material and should not contain pathogens, parasites, bilirubin, sugar and hemoglobin. Otherwise, inflammatory processes occur in the human body, although visible symptoms may not be observed in the initial phase.
Any disease can change the color and composition of urine, as well as its chemical characteristics. Among the most common diseases, it is worth noting the following: pyelonephritis, diabetes, cystitis, gynecological diseases, prostatitis, liver pathology, glomerulonephritis.
You should not determine your disease at home; only a doctor can make an accurate diagnosis. And if a general urine test is not enough to identify the cause and prescribe appropriate treatment, then the doctor may prescribe additional studies, including instrumental ones.
Human health largely depends on a healthy lifestyle, a healthy and balanced diet, and moderate physical activity. Often, you can cleanse urine and put your body in order with the help of a healthy diet, moderate physical activity and adherence to a work-rest schedule.
Drinking urine as a form of urine therapy - benefit or harm?
Urine therapy is an entire discipline, one of the manifestations of which is the ingestion of urine. People believe that urine can be used to cure various diseases, and for purely preventive purposes, it is useful to drink it from time to time. Just note the fact that grandmothers are usually committed to non-standard forms of medicine. But there is no evidence base regarding the benefits of drinking urine. Having heard from someone, poorly educated or simply too gullible people begin to do the same. But before you drink urine for medicinal purposes, think about why it is useful? Why does it have such miraculous healing properties? To clearly understand the benefits of urine for the body, let’s first remember what it is. Urine is nothing more than waste from our body. Yes, of course it contains nutrients and even a certain amount of vitamins, but alas, their content is so small compared to toxic substances that harmful substances will do much more harm to your body than that meager drop of useful substances. With the help of urine, the body gets rid of harmful substances in the body; it is a waste liquid - the purpose of which, first of all, is to remove toxins and other harmful substances from the body. So why do you think it's useful? By drinking urine internally, you voluntarily ruin your health, as you return harmful substances back.
How to quickly remove marijuana from the body using traditional methods
Folk recipes are based on the use of various herbal infusions and teas. These methods can help quickly remove marijuana (cannabis) from the body if the person smoked marijuana once, or if its use was not systemic. First of all, it is necessary to establish a drinking regime.
With any intoxication, it is necessary to ensure that a large amount of fluid enters the body. It helps to dilute human biological fluids, which leads to a decrease in the concentration of traces of marijuana in 1 milliliter of liquid. The elimination of toxins in the kidneys is also somewhat accelerated.
Recommended volume of fluid to drink: for women - from 2.5 to 3 liters, for men - from 3.5 to 4 liters.
Drinks that are recommended to be consumed during this period:
- Herbal teas and infusions;
- Fruit drinks and compotes;
- Fruit and vegetable juices;
- Drinking purified and mineral water.
Teas and decoctions that are recommended to be consumed to speed up the removal of marijuana from the body:
- Dandelion tea. This drink is rich in its composition (many vitamins and microelements). It can be purchased at any pharmacy. Dandelion root and leaves are in filter bags, which are convenient for brewing. This tea should be drunk warm, you can add honey;
- Monastery tea . This is a mixture of medicinal herbs (chamomile, fennel, linden blossom, peppermint, black elderberry, dandelion, senna) that have antitoxic, diuretic, antioxidant and restorative effects on the body;
This is useful to know!
- and juniper fruits These drinks enrich the body with vitamins and reduce the concentration of toxins;
- Drinks based on cranberries , lingonberries, currants and viburnum have a beneficial effect on the liver and help remove marijuana from its cells. From these berries you can prepare fruit drinks, compotes or decoctions;
- A decoction of oregano, parsley root, and lingonberry leaves has a diuretic effect, thereby accelerating the elimination of the toxin. However, along with toxins, useful minerals are also removed from the body, for example, potassium (it is necessary for the heart muscle). That is why you should not get carried away with such drinks.
Is it possible to drink beer before a urine test?
Alcohol will distort the results of the study, regardless of the concentration, dose or type of drink. Some people believe that a couple of glasses of beer will not affect their test results. But that's not true. Beer, like any other alcoholic drink, will affect the concentration of urine. The test result will be erroneous.
It is necessary to stop drinking beer and other alcoholic beverages 2-3 days before the laboratory test.

Elimination of marijuana from the body through sweating
Toxins are also removed from the body through the sweat glands along with sweat. Therefore, various methods are used to activate sweating.
Positive effects of baths and saunas:
- Increased sweating;
- Acceleration of metabolic processes. Fats are broken down faster and the toxins that were in them are removed from the body;
- Improved blood circulation.
However, this method can only be used if there are no contraindications.
Diseases and conditions for which baths and saunas are contraindicated:
- Infectious diseases;
- Heart pathology (angina pectoris, chronic heart failure, endocarditis, myocarditis, pericarditis, mitral valve stenosis);
- Diabetes;
- Strengthening the function of the thyroid gland;
- Hypertension stages 2 and 3;
- Chronic kidney pathology.
Baths and saunas will help only with moderate use. That is, you cannot expose your body to such stress every day. It is recommended to use this method of activating sweating 2 times a week at moderate temperatures. While in the steam room, you should drink a lot of liquid (mineral water, herbal tea, fruit juice).
Physical activity will help increase sweating . In this case, they should be aimed at burning fat. Preference should be given to intense and long-term cardio training (running, climbing stairs, training on elliptical and stepper machines). During training, you should drink mineral or clean drinking water.
What is known about urine?2
From the school curriculum, most people know that urine is a liquid that is excreted from the body, and its composition includes products of metabolic processes that can be both harmful and useless for humans. 95% is water, 2.5% is nitrogen waste, for example, urea. The entire remaining volume contains minimal impurities of other substances - dyes, amino acids.
Urea is a compound that is produced during the breakdown of proteins in particular. This chemical helps to moisturize the stratum corneum of the skin, for this reason it is used for cosmetic purposes and can be found in cream foundations.
Cosmetics with urea were first released in 1943. However, its basic properties were known more than a century ago. Here many people question its origin, however, it should be noted that urea used in cosmetics is obtained synthetically.
Nutrition and diet during detoxification
To remove marijuana from your body, you need to change your diet. Toxins are better eliminated in an alkaline environment, which is why it is necessary to include foods that help alkalize the body in your diet:
- Cucumbers, celery;
- Cabbage of different varieties;
- Avocado;
- Spinach.
The volume of these products should be more than 150 grams per day. You also need to pay special attention to garlic. It promotes the active breakdown of fats, which retain toxins.
It is worth giving up garlic if a person has an inflammatory disease of the gastrointestinal tract (gastritis, peptic ulcer of the stomach and duodenum, colitis, enteritis, pancreatitis, cholecystitis).
Foods that need to be excluded from the diet during the detoxification period:
- Fatty, fried foods;
- Coffee, strong black tea;
- Confectionery;
- Bakery products;
- Full-fat milk, sour cream, cottage cheese, butter;
- Carbonated drinks.
The following vitamins will help rid a person of marijuana toxins:
- Vitamin C (ascorbic acid);
- B vitamins.
Drug detoxification
If necessary, plasmapheresis or hemosorption can be performed in the hospital. Plasmapheresis is a technique by which formed elements are separated from blood plasma, and then returned back into the bloodstream. Plasma with toxic substances is no longer used, replacing it with infusion solutions.
Hemosorption is a technique where whole blood is passed through special filters and returned back to the patient. The method allows you to cleanse the plasma of toxins and their metabolites.
These procedures allow you to quickly and efficiently cleanse the blood of those toxins that the kidneys and liver cannot cope with.
Efficiency of gastric lavage
Although marijuana is a smoking mixture, there are still cases of oral administration (by mouth). In this case, cleansing the body must begin with gastric lavage.
Gastric lavage is effective only for oral consumption (poisoning) of marijuana, in the first 3 hours after it enters the stomach. The procedure is carried out repeatedly until the wash water is clear.
Algorithm for performing gastric lavage at home:
- Prepare the necessary equipment: clean water, a basin, an oilcloth apron;
- Allow the patient to drink 500 milliliters of water at a time;
- Induce vomiting. To do this, you need to influence the root of the tongue with a spatula or your fingers;
- Repeat the procedure until the vomit is in the form of clear water.
After gastric lavage, it is recommended to give the person any absorbent (Activated carbon, Enterosgel).
Can you quench your thirst with urine?
Now let's talk about in what life situations you may need to drink urine and how to do it correctly. Yes, there are times when urine can become almost the only way out. Imagine that you are in the desert or somewhere else. In general, you have no water, and there are no bodies of water nearby. Then you can try to clean the urine a little to replenish the water supply in the body. In its pure form, urine is not able to quench thirst, but will only increase it, in addition, its use will only contribute to the acceleration of dehydration. True, to bring urine into a more or less drinkable form, we will need some equipment. The bottom line is that it needs to be evaporated and the condensate collected. To do this, urine is poured into a container and the matter is placed on fire. The urine boils, the water turns into steam, but the salts remain. Above the bowl with urine you need to place another bowl to collect urine, and above it there should be a screen that will convert it into condensation. A lid of some kind will do for this. Of course, not everyone in such situations will have a pair of vessels, so this method is difficult to implement in extreme conditions.
Preparations for cleansing the body
The medications must be prescribed by the attending physician (narcologist).
Several groups of drugs are used to cleanse the body:
- Sodium thiosulfate and Ovesol are the main detoxification drugs. They are used strictly as directed by a specialist;
- Absorbents : Activated carbon (1 tablet per 10 kilograms of body weight), White carbon, Polysorb and others. These drugs are more effective when there has been one or only one instance of marijuana use;
- Diuretics
: Furosemide, Veroshpiron. Preference should be given to potassium-sparing drugs, such as Veroshpiron. It retains potassium while eliminating toxins through the kidneys; - Hepatoprotectors help the liver recover (Karsil, Essentiale). When liver function is restored, the removal of toxins from its parenchyma accelerates;
- Choleretic drugs (for example, Holosas) are auxiliary. However, they should not be neglected. They will ease the work of the digestive tract.
How long does it stay in urine?
Spice metabolites can be found in urine for 3-7 days. It should be noted that while the active substances are in the blood for the first 15-20 hours, they may not be detected in the urine.
This mechanism is due to the fact that test systems show metabolic products, and not the active substances themselves. Therefore, while spice is being metabolized in the liver, practically nothing reaches the kidneys.
After the first use of a drug, the approximate time for determining its metabolites in urine is 3-7 days. If a person uses Spice regularly, it can be detected in the urine within 1-3 days.
According to the same source, the marijuana test is not used to identify spice addicts.

Time frame for removing toxins from the body
How long does it take to remove marijuana from the body? To identify traces of marijuana use, it is necessary to conduct a laboratory test. Most often, blood and urine tests are used for this purpose. To ensure that tests do not show the use of marijuana, you must wait a certain time during which the toxins are completely eliminated.
How much marijuana is excreted from the body:
- It is excreted from the blood depending on the duration of use from 1 to 4 weeks;
- It takes longer to be excreted from urine, even after 1 dose for 3 months. With long-term use of the drug, the toxin disappears after six months.
If you don’t have time to wait, but you need the test to be negative, then you can use several recommendations.
Tips on how to remove traces of marijuana from urine and blood before taking tests:
- Drink plenty of fluids (3 – 4 liters) for 3 days;
- B vitamins can be taken 3 hours before the test. In this case, the vitamin should be washed down with plenty of water;
- Keratin dye also distorts the result well. Therefore, you should eat foods that contain it;
- Eat red meat for several days before the test.

Very often, going to see a doctor requires taking at least two tests - a general urine test and a general blood test. The study of these biological fluids is necessary for a basic study of those physiological processes that occur every second in the body. General blood and urine tests, although simple in their technical execution, can greatly help the doctor on the path to correct diagnosis and therapy, and sometimes they cannot be avoided at all. The patient’s role in collecting tests is no less important. Many patients, unfortunately, do not know the simple rules for preparing for the collection of biological material, resulting in a “dirty” result. This article will discuss how to properly “clean” urine at home before going to the doctor.
Does alcohol affect urine analysis?
In order for a urine test to show reliable results, certain conditions must be met. People tend not to take care of their health - many drink alcohol in excessive quantities and believe that this will not affect the body in any way.
Based on a urine test, the doctor can draw appropriate conclusions and prescribe the necessary treatment. But drinking alcohol on the eve of tests can negatively affect their results. Typically, a medical specialist always warns a person that eating food 7-12 hours before testing is prohibited.
This precaution also applies to alcoholic beverages, which can lead to unreliable results and make any diagnostic examination pointless.
