Order Heavy Metal Toxicity Lab Test | 6 Common Heavy Metals LevelsHeavy metals are naturally occurring elements with high atomic weights, and small amounts enter the body through food, water, air, and everyday products. Because they are not easily broken down, some can accumulate in tissues over time. This urine test measures levels of six common heavy metals—arsenic, cadmium, cobalt, lead, mercury, and thallium—along with creatinine, which helps account for urine concentration.
About Heavy Metal Toxicity Lab Test | 6 Common Heavy Metals Levels in Jackson
A urine heavy metal panel is used to assess recent and ongoing exposure to a defined group of elements.
The test quantifies arsenic, cadmium, cobalt, lead, mercury, and thallium in a urine sample. Each element has different sources and routes of exposure, so measuring them together gives a broader view than testing any single metal alone.
Creatinine is included because urine can vary widely in how diluted it is. Comparing metal concentrations to creatinine helps normalize the results and supports a more consistent interpretation across samples.
Urine testing generally reflects metals that have been absorbed and are being excreted. Depending on the metal, it may indicate recent exposure more readily than long-term body stores, and results are typically reviewed alongside exposure history and other clinical information.
