Test for the detection of heavy metals from urine
The heavy metal test is a fundamental tool for the diagnosis, monitoring and prevention of harmful health effects deriving from exposure to these substances.
Heavy metal test research method
The test involves the determination of the elements through a combined analytical/instrumental technique (ICP-MS) which involves the use of inductively coupled plasma (ICP) and spectrometry (MS).
The technique used allows the determination in biological samples of different elements of the periodic table, both by group and by period, and at the same time the identification of trace elements and impurities with potential toxicological risk.
These are the metals and elements specifically sought:
When and to whom is the test for the detection of heavy metals recommended?
Occupationally exposed workers
Those who work in industrial sectors that use lead, mercury, arsenic or other heavy metals – such as battery production, welding, metalworking or paint manufacturing – are considered particularly exposed.
Residents of areas with high environmental risk
Living near industrial sites, landfills, or buildings with old lead pipes can increase exposure to heavy metals via contaminated water or air.
Children
Children are very sensitive to the neurotoxic effects of substances such as lead, which can impair cognitive and behavioral development. Testing in these cases is particularly recommended if you live in areas of high environmental risk.
Pregnant or breastfeeding women
During pregnancy and breastfeeding, exposure to heavy metals can seriously harm the fetus or newborn. Performing specific tests at these stages of life is essential to prevent complications.
People with kidney or metabolic conditions
Those with kidney disease or metabolic dysfunction may have a lower ability to eliminate toxic metals.
Users of metal-containing medications or supplements
Taking medications such as lithium carbonate or contaminated supplements can lead to increased levels of heavy metals. A test is useful for identifying any overloads.
People with symptoms of intoxication
Nausea, confusion, tremors, speech difficulties, or dermatitis can be signs of poisoning. The test for the detection of heavy metals allows you to diagnose and intervene in a targeted manner.
Preventive and routine check-ups
Even in the absence of symptoms, the doctor may recommend periodic check-ups for those who live in high-risk environments or have a history of exposure.
