    What is Cotinine - Qualitative Test?

    A qualitative cotinine test is a simple urine test, which is used to measure how much cotinine is present in your urine.

    Cotinine is produced when the body breaks down nicotine through a chemical reaction. You can find this “nicotine chemical” present in products that contain tobacco. Cotinine is cleared up slowly from the body, so it stays in the body for a longer time compared to nicotine. This makes cotinine a more reliable indicator of nicotine exposure. It is often used to determine tobacco use or exposure to second-hand smoke. This type of testing helps assess whether someone has used tobacco products or been exposed to nicotine indirectly.

    Nicotine which is found in tobacco leaves and usually consumed by chewing tobacco leaves or through smoking, is highly addictive. Prolonged use of tobacco increases the risk of severe health conditions like lung cancer, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), heart disease, stroke, and respiratory infections.

    The Cotinine Qualitative test can be helpful in cases of suspected nicotine poisoning. For example, it may be performed when a doctor needs to confirm exposure to a harmful amount of nicotine, which can result from accidental ingestion of nicotine products.

    This simple test plays an important role in identifying nicotine exposure for health evaluations and medical treatment planning.

    Cotinine - Qualitative Test Parameters

    The qualitative cotinine test is used to evaluate one specific parameter: the presence of cotinine in urine.

    Cotinine is the main substance produced when the body breaks down nicotine, a highly addictive chemical found in tobacco. People are exposed to nicotine through smoking, chewing tobacco, or using nicotine replacement products like patches, gums, or e-cigarettes.

    When nicotine enters the body, the liver breaks it down into more than 20 substances, one of which is cotinine. The kidneys then remove these substances from the body through urine. Cotinine levels can increase due to direct tobacco use or even exposure to second-hand smoke.

    Cotinine stays in the body for a significantly longer time as compared to nicotine; therefore, the cotinine urine test is more reliable than a nicotine test.

    This test is simple and also effective in detecting if anyone is using tobacco, exposed to smoke, or has possible nicotine poisoning, helping doctors make informed health evaluations.

    Cotinine - Qualitative Test Preparation

    Consider the following before scheduling a Cotinine Qualitative test in Bangalore:

    • Prerequisites

    You do not have to fast before undergoing the Cotinine Qualitative test.

    • Best Time to Get Tested

    This test can be scheduled at any time of the day.

    • Who Should Get This Test

    This test is recommended for those who are quitting smoking, adjusting nicotine patch doses, undergoing insurance health checks, or checking for nicotine poisoning.

    • Cautions Before Taking This Test

    You do not have to do any special preparation before taking the Cotinine Qualitative test. However, consult your doctor before undergoing the test to ensure it is appropriate for your situation.

    Why Take the Cotinine - Qualitative Test?

    A cotinine test is often needed to check if someone is using tobacco or has been exposed to tobacco smoke. If you are trying to quit smoking, this test can help measure your progress in a smoking cessation program. It helps your doctor assess how well a nicotine patch is working and determine the right dosage for you.

    Some insurance companies use it as part of their health exam process to check tobacco use before approving a policy. Employers who have a no-smoking policy may also ask for this test during job applications to ensure that candidates are not smoking or using tobacco products.

    In some cases, a cotinine test may be requested when doctors suspect nicotine poisoning. Nicotine poisoning can happen if someone ingests too much nicotine, either through tobacco use or other products like nicotine lozenges or e-cigarettes. If nicotine poisoning is present, it will be accompanied by symptoms such as dizziness, nausea, drooling, and vomiting. In more serious cases, it can lead to increased heart rate, trouble breathing, seizures, or even coma.

    Overall, a cotinine test helps doctors and employers monitor tobacco use, manage smoking cessation, and identify potential health risks related to nicotine exposure.

    • Good experience everytime except one where phlebotomist didn't prick correctly. My wife had much pain even after few days and it looked like some clot had happened. But it was one in almost 20 visits. I would still recommend. One suggestion to Orange would be to keep Lithium tests within a day so we could get test results faster
