About Heavy Metal Toxicity Lab Test | 6 Common Heavy Metals Levels in Dover
This panel provides a focused look at six heavy metals that are frequently monitored in clinical and occupational settings.
The test measures arsenic, cadmium, cobalt, lead, mercury, and thallium in a urine sample. Each of these elements has distinct sources and biological behaviors, so evaluating them together offers a broader view than testing any single metal alone.
Arsenic, cadmium, lead, and mercury are among the most widely studied heavy metals because of their presence in certain foods, water supplies, industrial processes, and consumer products. Cobalt and thallium are less common but still relevant in specific exposures, such as certain alloys, pigments, and electronic components.
A creatinine level is included with the panel. Creatinine is a waste product produced at a relatively steady rate, and its concentration in urine helps account for how diluted or concentrated a sample is. This allows results for the heavy metals to be assessed more consistently.
