What is NICKEL, BLOOD?

This test measures the levels of nickel in your blood. Nickel is a common metal found in many everyday products and the environment. This test helps determine if you have been exposed to nickel or if you have a sensitivity to it.

Why is this test important?

Elevated nickel levels can indicate occupational exposure, allergic reactions, or potential toxicity. It is useful for diagnosing nickel allergy, monitoring individuals in high-exposure environments, or investigating unexplained symptoms related to metal exposure.

How to Prepare

Avoid nickel-containing foods or supplements for 24-48 hours if advised by your doctor. Inform your doctor about any recent exposure to nickel.
