What is MERCURY, Urine?
The Mercury in Urine test measures the amount of mercury excreted in your urine. This test is often used to assess chronic or long-term exposure to inorganic mercury, which can accumulate in the body over time from various environmental or occupational sources.
Why is this test important?
Detecting mercury in urine helps identify ongoing exposure and assess the body's burden of this toxic metal. It's crucial for monitoring individuals with occupational exposure or those suspected of chronic mercury poisoning, guiding interventions to reduce health risks.
How to Prepare
No special preparation required for a random urine sample. Your doctor will advise if a 24-hour collection is needed and provide specific instructions.
