What is 24 Hrs Urinary Arsenic?
This test measures the amount of arsenic excreted in your urine over a 24-hour period. Arsenic is a toxic heavy metal found naturally in the environment and in some industrial products. This test helps determine your level of exposure and how your body is eliminating it.
Why is this test important?
This test is essential for diagnosing arsenic poisoning, which can result from environmental exposure (e.g., contaminated water or food) or occupational hazards. Early detection is vital as arsenic toxicity can lead to serious health problems affecting multiple organ systems.
How to Prepare
You will need to collect all urine passed over a full 24-hour period into a special container. Avoid seafood for at least 48 hours before collection, as it can contain non-toxic forms of arsenic that may interfere with results.
