Use

This test is used to screen for, detect, and monitor excessive exposure to the heavy metals arsenic, cadmium, lead, and mercury by measuring their levels in urine. It also includes urinary creatinine to account for hydration status, enabling more accurate interpretation of measured heavy metal concentrations. It is appropriate for individuals concerned about environmental or occupational exposure to toxic metals, including those with possible lead-based paint exposure, work in agriculture, construction, mining or metal industries, smoking, or use of certain traditional medicines.
