What is ARSENIC, URINE?

This test measures arsenic levels in your urine, which is an effective way to detect exposure over the past few days. It helps differentiate between less harmful organic arsenic and more toxic inorganic forms.

Why is this test important?

Urine arsenic testing is essential for diagnosing both acute and chronic arsenic exposure, particularly inorganic arsenic, which poses significant health risks. It's often used for environmental or occupational monitoring and to assess treatment effectiveness.

How to Prepare

A 24-hour urine collection may be required, or a random urine sample. Your healthcare provider will advise on the specific collection method.

Do I need to fast before my blood test?
