Toxic Heavy Metals (Urine)

Exposure to toxic levels of many different heavy metals can have serious consequences for your health.  This is especially true if you don’t know you are being exposed.  You can come into contact with heavy metals in many ways.  For example, you may be exposed through the environment, through foods you eat, or through your job.    

Heavy metal toxicity causes damage to lung, kidney, liver, or brain functions.  Exposure to toxic levels of heavy metals may damage your blood vessels and impair your body’s ability to produce red and white blood cells.  Many heavy metals are even recognized to cause certain types of cancer.  

The Toxic Heavy Metals (Urine) test will analyze your urine sample for the presence or absence of different toxic heavy metals including arsenic, lead, and mercury.  The report you receive will identify whether the levels detected are within normal limits, or may be cause for concern.

This test requires a standard urine sample that can be collected at the Any Lab Test Now store location of your choice.
