Toxic Heavy Metals, Urine
Panel Description

The below following is the description for Toxic Heavy Metals Panel :

Aluminum 

Widely used in manufacturing, construction, and packaging. Testing assesses exposure in various industries, with prolonged high exposure potentially linked to neurological issues. 

Antimony 

Testing is crucial in industrial settings to prevent respiratory and skin issues associated with exposure. 

Arsenic 

Naturally occurring and used in various industries. Testing is vital due to its toxicity, with high exposure linked to cancer and other health problems. 

Barium 

Used in drilling fluids, fireworks, and glass production. Testing ensures safe levels, preventing gastrointestinal issues linked to high exposure. 

Bismuth 

Testing monitors occupational exposure to prevent potential gastrointestinal and skin issues. 

Cadmium 

Testing is crucial as high exposure can lead to kidney and lung damage, and it is a known carcinogen. 

Cesium 

Urinary manganese levels can provide information about exposure and potential toxicity. 

Gadolinium 

Urinary magnesium levels reflect the body's excretion and can indicate dietary intake. 

Germanium 

Testing may be done in relevant industrial settings to prevent respiratory and skin issues associated with exposure. 

Lead 

Testing is essential to prevent lead poisoning, which can cause developmental issues, especially in children. 

Mercury 

Testing is crucial to prevent mercury poisoning, which can impact the nervous system and organs. 

Nickel 

Testing monitors exposure to prevent skin and respiratory issues associated with nickel sensitivity. 

Niobium 

Testing may be done in relevant industrial settings to assess exposure levels. 

Platinum 

Testing ensures safe occupational exposure, preventing potential respiratory issues. 

Rubidium 

Testing may be specific to certain contexts where exposure is likely. 

Thallium 

Testing is essential to prevent toxicity, which can impact the nervous system and organs. 

Thorium 

Testing in nuclear and industrial settings is vital to prevent radiation exposure. 

Tin 

Testing monitors exposure to prevent respiratory and gastrointestinal issues. 

Titanium 

Widely used in aerospace, medical implants, and paints. Testing ensures safe exposure levels. 

Tungsten 

Testing prevents exposure-related health risks, including respiratory issues. 

Uranium 

Radioactive elements used in nuclear applications. Testing in nuclear and industrial settings prevents radiation exposure-related health risks.
