What is BERYLLIUM?
The Beryllium test measures the level of beryllium in your blood. Beryllium is a light metal primarily used in industrial settings. This test is typically performed for individuals who may have been exposed to beryllium, often through their occupation.
Why is this test important?
This test is vital for screening individuals at risk of beryllium exposure, particularly in industries like aerospace, electronics, and ceramics. Elevated levels can indicate exposure and help diagnose chronic beryllium disease (CBD), a serious lung condition, allowing for early intervention.
How to Prepare
No special preparation required. A blood sample will be collected.
