The PCP uses one sample to measure a defined set of markers. Here is what the PCP covers and how to understand the report from a licensed laboratory.

Understanding PCP Reference Ranges in Concord

A healthcare provider can explain what the PCP numbers mean in the context of your health history. The PCP report shows each marker, your value, and the reference range the laboratory uses. Reference ranges for the PCP can vary by laboratory method, so always use the range printed with your report. A value outside the range does not on its own mean a problem; it is a signal for a healthcare provider to interpret.

High and Low PCP Results

A value above the range is called high and one below is called low, but either can have many explanations. High and low results from the PCP are best reviewed with a healthcare provider rather than interpreted alone. Phencyclidine, better known as PCP, is detected here through a urine screen paired with a confirmation step. A single high or low value from the PCP may reflect normal variation, so repeat testing is sometimes used.

Questions to Ask Before the PCP

Before the PCP, it can help to ask what the test measures and why it is being suggested. Ask how the PCP sample will be collected and whether any preparation is needed. It is reasonable to ask when the PCP results will be ready and how they will be shared. Phencyclidine, better known as PCP, is detected here through a urine screen paired with a confirmation step.
