About Heavy Metal Toxicity Lab Test | 6 Common Heavy Metals Levels in Central
A urine heavy metal panel measures the amount of specific metals excreted through the kidneys.
The test analyzes arsenic, cadmium, cobalt, lead, mercury, and thallium. Each of these metals can be encountered through occupational exposure, certain foods, drinking water, or environmental sources, and each has a distinct pattern of absorption and elimination.
Because urine reflects what the body is actively clearing, the results can help characterize recent or ongoing exposure. Creatinine is included in the panel as a reference marker, since urine concentration varies with hydration and kidney function.
Interpreting results requires context about potential exposure sources and individual factors. A qualified healthcare professional can explain what the measured levels mean and whether further evaluation is appropriate.
