Heavy Metals Panel 4, Urine with Reflex to Arsenic Fractionated

Use

This test is useful in the assessment of acute and chronic exposure to heavy metals like arsenic, cadmium, mercury, and lead. It is particularly used for monitoring levels of these metals and aiding in their treatment through chelation therapy. Urinary mercury concentrations predominantly reflect elemental or inorganic mercury exposure. Arsenic fractionation helps determine the proportions of inorganic, methylated, and organic arsenic species, important for understanding exposure and toxicity levels.
