What is BARIUM?

This blood test measures the level of barium in your bloodstream. Barium is a naturally occurring element, but elevated levels can indicate exposure or absorption, which may have significant health implications if not addressed.

Why is this test important?

Monitoring barium levels is important, especially in individuals with potential occupational exposure or those who have ingested barium compounds. High levels can be toxic and affect various organ systems, requiring prompt medical attention and management.

How to Prepare
