General Information

Heavy metals exist naturally in the environment. They can be found in some medicines, foods, nutritional supplements. In normal amounts, some of them are necessary for conducting a number of biological processes. Chemicals for industrial use also contain heavy metals, the contact of which with soil, air, water - brings serious consequences for health.

Heavy metal poisoning can cause organ damage, behavioral abnormalities, and mental problems. Heavy metal poisoning in children causes long-term, serious problems.

When should we take the test?

  • Suspicion of acute or chronic intoxication

  •  Industrial or environmental impacts

  • Unexplained symptoms (weakness, nervous disorders, anemia)

Possible interpretation of the results

Higher than normal levels of 16 metals in the blood may be a sign of severe intoxication, but not always. Even in the absence of symptoms, it is necessary to find a way to eliminate the intoxication in order to reduce toxic exposure. Chelation therapy is also prescribed if necessary. Chelation therapy is usually accompanied by serious side effects, so the question of treatment should be decided by a doctor based on an assessment of the risks and benefits.

Normal or low concentrations of heavy metals in the blood indicate the absence of intoxication. However, some of them quickly leave the bloodstream and accumulate in tissues. Therefore, in the presence of symptoms, despite the detection of low concentrations in the blood, additional studies are sometimes necessary - skin, hair, nails and other tissues.

Reference values

Numerous heavy metal contents have been detected in seafood and some foods.

Therefore, it is not recommended to take such products and medications 48 hours before the test.

 

The research material is selected depending on which metal is being tested and how long it was exposed to (short-term, long-term). Urine and blood are the most common test materials. To diagnose chronic intoxication, it is sometimes necessary to study nails and hair.
