What is BARIUM, Urine?
This urine test measures the amount of barium excreted in your urine. It helps assess recent exposure to barium and how your body is processing and eliminating this element, providing insights into your body's detoxification process.
Why is this test important?
Urine barium levels are useful for assessing recent or ongoing exposure to barium, particularly in occupational settings or after suspected ingestion. It complements blood tests to provide a comprehensive picture of barium metabolism and potential toxicity.
