What is LEAD, URINE?

The Lead, Urine test measures the amount of lead excreted in your urine. While blood tests show recent exposure, urine tests can sometimes be used to assess total body lead burden, especially after chelation therapy or in specific occupational settings.

Why is this test important?

Urine lead levels can complement blood lead tests, particularly in monitoring the effectiveness of chelation therapy for lead poisoning or assessing chronic exposure. It helps healthcare providers manage treatment and evaluate long-term lead accumulation.

How to Prepare

You may be asked to collect a 24-hour urine sample, or a random sample depending on your doctor's instructions.
