Answer
Hi-
I have read your question carefully. No, the lasix will not be detected. No-one screens for this.
They (usually) check for:
Opiates
benzodiazepines
amphetamine/methamphetamine
PCP
alcohol
THC (pot)
cocaine
barbituates
Methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA or ecstasy)
tricyclic antidepressants

Answer
The therapeutic half life of lasix is about 2 hours. Generally, passage of 3-4 half lives is what most drugs need before they are less effective. However, the drug test will be testing for low amounts. The amount of time for it to be completely cleared would be 48-72 hours. So, yes, it is very possible you will be positive.
