Zinc, Whole Blood

This test measures the level of zinc, a mineral essential for your immune system and wound healing, in your blood. It helps show whether you have a deficiency that might be causing symptoms like slow healing or frequent infections, or if you have high levels due to exposure. Doctors use these results to evaluate nutritional status and monitor conditions that affect how your body absorbs minerals. However, this test alone cannot diagnose specific diseases like liver cirrhosis or cystic fibrosis without further medical evaluation.
