Accuracy of the Opiates Panel

The Opiates Panel is run by a licensed laboratory, and like any test it has limitations. A result from the Opiates Panel reflects the sample at the time it was collected and does not capture every factor. The accuracy of the Opiates Panel depends on proper sample collection and on the laboratory method used. A value outside the range is not a diagnosis on its own, so the Opiates Panel is best interpreted with a provider.

High and Low Opiates Panel Results

Reference ranges for the Opiates Panel are printed on the report, and results should be read against that range. If a Opiates Panel value is outside the range, a provider can explain the possible reasons and the next steps. The Opiates Panel report shows whether each value sits above, below, or within the reference range. A value above the range is called high and one below is called low, but either can have many explanations.
