What is Heavy Metals Profile?

This blood test screens for the presence and levels of various heavy metals in your bloodstream. It's used to identify acute or chronic exposure to toxic metals that can accumulate in the body and potentially cause health problems.

Why is this test important?

Detecting elevated heavy metal levels is vital for diagnosing conditions like lead poisoning, mercury toxicity, or arsenic exposure, which can impact neurological function, kidney health, and overall well-being. Early detection allows for timely intervention.

How to Prepare

No special preparation required. However, inform your healthcare provider about any medications or supplements you are taking.
