Order Nickel, Urine testThe Nickel, Urine Profile measures the amount of nickel excreted in urine. Nickel is a metal that occurs naturally in soil, water, and many metal alloys, and it is also present in certain foods and industrial materials. Because the body clears nickel largely through the kidneys, urine is a practical specimen for assessing recent exposure or ongoing elimination. This profile is used when a clinician wants objective information about nickel burden rather than relying on symptoms alone.
About Nickel, Urine test in Ithaca
What the Nickel, Urine Profile measures and why it is ordered
The test quantifies nickel concentration in a urine sample. Results are typically expressed as micrograms of nickel per liter or per gram of creatinine, a normalization that helps account for how dilute or concentrated the sample happens to be.
Urine nickel reflects both recent intake and the body's ongoing clearance of the metal. It is most informative when the collection is timed appropriately and when the clinician interprets the result alongside the exposure history, since nickel can enter the body through inhalation, ingestion, and skin contact.
The profile does not diagnose a specific disease on its own. Instead, it provides a quantitative data point that a clinician can use to evaluate whether nickel exposure is elevated and whether further medical or occupational follow-up is warranted.
