Consultation
Detailed Answer:
Hello, and thanks for your question.
Hydromorphone is Dilaudid, an opioid painkiller medication that is usually administered intravenously in a hospital setting. This test shows that you had it in your system. The 86.0 is an average amount that simply indicates you were taking alprazolam, more commonly known as Xanax, a benzodiazepine anti-anxiety medication.

Followup
Detailed Answer:
Yes, I looked at the report. The report indicates a positive result for alprazolam (with a level), hydrocodone, and hydromorphone. The latter two are usually not reported by level, simply by the presence or absence of metabolites in the blood. It does not say how much, high or low. All we know is you were positive for all three drugs, with a moderate level of alprazolam.
