Question

In general terms, what steps would have to do be taken in order to extract the urine for quantitation of ingested aspirin?

Answer 1

To quantify the amount of aspirin used, procedures for urine extraction would need to be followed.

• Up to 10 hours of urine samples were collected.

• Colorimetric analysis was used to determine the salicylic acid (SUA) concentration, which is a significant aspirin metabolite.
• Salicylic acid excretion varies greatly and is influenced by urine pH. The findings indicate that the mean values for the pH of the urine were 6.240.11 and that 63.512 mg of salicylic acid was eliminated along with 10.661.98 percent of the prescribed dose.

What is salicylate in urine?

You can check for salicylate in urine with the salicylate screening test. A salicylate test may be prescribed if a patient exhibits symptoms of aspirin or other salicylate poisoning in order to help identify an overdose.

Salicylic acid—is it present in urine?

Salicylates are broken down by being glucuronidated and conjugated to salicyluric acid. About 10% of salicylates are excreted as salicylic acid in the urine, though this percentage might rise and fall depending on the pH of the urine (alkaline vs. acidic).
