The present invention provides methods and kits for the detection of glucuronide metabolites of various drugs, alcohols and other compounds using a combination of High Performance Liquid Chromatography coupled with Pulsed Electrochemical Detection. Detection of a drug and its glucuronide metabolite(s) has applications in interpretive forensic and clinical toxicology. The ability to estimate metabolite/drug ratios enables the assessment of route, dose and time of exposure. In instances where the parent drug is biotransformed quickly and can only found in low levels in biological fluids, the detection of metabolites allows for the identification of parent drugs. Furthermore, metabolite determination enables the differentiation between recent and chronic drug use.
