About Nickel, Urine test in Walla Walla
Nickel is a silvery metal found in soil, water, and many industrial products. The body absorbs small amounts through food, water, and air, then clears most of it through the kidneys.
Urine nickel reflects the fraction of absorbed metal that the kidneys have filtered and excreted. It is most useful for detecting recent or ongoing exposure rather than long-term accumulation.
Collection typically involves a spot urine sample, though a timed collection may be requested in some situations. The sample is analyzed with methods such as inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry, which can detect very low concentrations.
Results are reported as a concentration, often in micrograms per liter or micrograms per gram of creatinine. Creatinine correction helps account for how dilute or concentrated the urine is, making comparisons more reliable.
