127 - Heavy Metals Screening, Whole Blood (3 tests)
Heavy Metals Screening, Whole Blood (Arsenic, Lead, Mercury)
The Heavy Metals Screening, Whole Blood test measures levels of three toxic metals—arsenic, lead, and mercury—in the blood. These metals can accumulate in the body through environmental, occupational, dietary, or water-related exposure and may affect neurological, kidney, cardiovascular, and immune health.
This test is commonly used to evaluate suspected heavy metal exposure or toxicity and may be ordered when symptoms such as fatigue, headaches, memory issues, numbness, gastrointestinal symptoms, or unexplained health concerns are present. Whole blood testing reflects more recent or ongoing exposure to these metals.
The panel includes 3 tests:
Arsenic: Exposure may occur through contaminated water, food, or industrial sources
Lead: Commonly associated with environmental or occupational exposure and can affect multiple organ systems
Mercury: Exposure may occur through certain foods (such as fish) or environmental sources
