Order Heavy Metal Toxicity Lab Test | 6 Common Heavy Metals LevelsHeavy metals are naturally occurring elements with high atomic weights and densities. While some, such as cobalt, are essential in trace amounts, others like lead, mercury, and cadmium serve no known biological function and can be harmful when they accumulate in the body. This urine test measures levels of six common heavy metals—arsenic, cadmium, cobalt, lead, mercury, and thallium—along with creatinine, which helps account for urine concentration and supports more accurate interpretation of the results.
About Heavy Metal Toxicity Lab Test | 6 Common Heavy Metals Levels in Pasadena
The Heavy Metal Toxicity Lab Screen is a urine-based panel designed to assess recent or ongoing exposure to six heavy metals.
Urine testing is a standard method for evaluating heavy metal exposure because the kidneys filter many of these elements from the bloodstream and excrete them in urine. Measuring arsenic, cadmium, cobalt, lead, mercury, and thallium together provides a broad view of potential exposure from sources such as drinking water, certain foods, occupational environments, and some consumer products.
Creatinine is included in this panel as a correction factor. Because urine can be more or less dilute depending on fluid intake, creatinine helps normalize metal concentrations and allows for a more reliable comparison against reference ranges. This is particularly useful when interpreting low-level results.
Results are typically available within one to three business days. As with any laboratory test, findings should be reviewed in the context of a person's history, symptoms, and other clinical information. A healthcare provider can help determine whether additional testing or follow-up is appropriate.
