What Causes Dilute Outcome In Alcohol Detection Urine Test Without Alcohol Intake?
My Urine tests for Alcohol detetection keep resulting in a dilute outcome. I have not consummed alcohol in a very long time and I have no reason to tamper with sample. The creatinine levels are low... I do not believe I am over hydrating and I am not in kidney failure. Would taking liquid B vitamins prior to test improve the out come? What can I do to stop this situation?

Hi,
Low alcohol content of mouthwash or anti perspiration can be shown in urine analysis as dilute outcome for alcohol content. Please avoid use of these or medicines with alcohol content before checking urine test.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
