# Nickel, Urine

> This test measures the amount of nickel in your urine to evaluate how much of this metal is in your body. It helps show whether you have been exposed to high levels of nickel, often through industrial work or contact with metal-containing products. Doctors use this result to help rule out nickel toxicity as a cause for symptoms like skin rashes or breathing problems. However, this test cannot identify the specific source of the exposure or diagnose a nickel allergy by itself.
