Urine tests v bloodwork?

[vermin]

Hi,

I'm pretty familiar with bloodwork. Can someone compare/contrast urine tests with blood? Overall it seems urine is more useful for rec. drug detection thatn AAS, but evidently at least some indicators of AAS can be detected with urine (T/E?). What are the limits of urine tests? If you know a test is going to be urine-only are there elements of AAS that you need not sweat at all?

Thanks!

i didnt think they used a urine test for AAS. what would they be detecting? just hormone levels?

Well I am pretty certain SPECIFIC tests need to be done via bloodwork, but that someone can be genarllyy DQed for AAS via urine. I'd actually thought that all AAS had to be via blood but others seem to indicate that some stuff will show in urine.

So can AAS use be detected via urine at all? If a company does drug testing will they even check for AAS use or just recreational drugs like pot and other narcotics?

Yeah i know my FD tests for roids but it is a piss test looking for elevated levels. They pick 1 person everytime they test to look at their levels the others is tested for rec drugs.

hypotheitcally speaking...what would these levels/measurements mean from a urine lab test:

example

Positive: Noretiocholanolone - 40 ng/mL
Positive: Nortestosterone - 105 ng/mL
Positive: Norandrosterone - 161 ng/mL

would these show a high level of potency?
