What is Gold?

The Gold test measures the level of gold in your blood. While gold is used in some medical treatments and jewelry, high levels can indicate exposure or accumulation, which might be harmful. This test helps assess your body's gold content.

Why is this test important?

Clinically, this test is important for monitoring patients undergoing gold-based therapies for conditions like rheumatoid arthritis, or for investigating potential heavy metal toxicity. It helps ensure gold levels remain within a safe and therapeutic range, preventing adverse effects.

How to Prepare

Follow your doctor's specific instructions regarding medication or dietary restrictions before the test.
