The Nickel, Urine test measures the amount of nickel excreted in urine. Nickel is a metal that occurs naturally in soil, water, and many consumer products, and it can enter the body through inhalation, ingestion, or skin contact. This test is used to assess recent or ongoing exposure to nickel and to help evaluate whether a person's symptoms may be related to metal exposure.

About Nickel, Urine test in Wheeling

Nickel exposure and why urine testing is used

Nickel is widely used in alloys, plating, batteries, coins, and jewelry. Occupational settings such as metal refining, welding, and electroplating can involve higher exposure. For the general population, the main sources are food, drinking water, and contact with nickel-containing items.

Urine testing reflects the fraction of nickel that has been absorbed and is being eliminated by the kidneys. Because nickel is excreted relatively quickly, a urine result is most useful for assessing recent exposure rather than a cumulative body burden.

Results are interpreted alongside the collection method, the timing of the sample, and the individual's history. The test does not diagnose a specific disease on its own, and it is typically ordered with other clinical information to provide context.
