Order Nickel, Urine testThe Nickel, Urine Screen measures the amount of nickel excreted in urine. Nickel is a metal found in soil, water, and many industrial and consumer products, including stainless steel, coins, and some jewelry. This test is used to assess recent exposure to nickel, as urine reflects nickel that has been absorbed and is being cleared by the kidneys.
About Nickel, Urine test in Channelview
Nickel is a naturally occurring element that can enter the body through inhalation, ingestion, or skin contact.
Urine nickel testing is most often used in occupational settings where workers may be exposed to nickel-containing dusts or fumes, such as metal plating, welding, or battery manufacturing. It can also help evaluate non-occupational exposure from diet, drinking water, or nickel-containing implants and prosthetics.
Because urine reflects recent exposure rather than long-term body stores, the timing of collection matters. A single spot urine sample is common, though a 24-hour collection may be requested in some cases to account for daily variation in nickel excretion.
Results are typically reported as micrograms of nickel per liter of urine or per gram of creatinine. Creatinine adjustment helps account for dilution, which can vary between samples. Interpretation should consider the collection method, hydration status, and any known exposure sources.
