What is Mercury in Blood?

The Mercury in Blood test measures the amount of mercury present in your bloodstream. This test is important for assessing recent or short-term exposure to mercury, a toxic heavy metal that can be found in certain foods, environmental sources, or occupational settings.

Elevated mercury levels can lead to mercury poisoning, affecting the nervous system, kidneys, and other organs. This test helps diagnose acute exposure, monitor individuals at risk, and guide treatment to prevent serious health complications.
