# Cadmium, Urine

> This test measures the amount of cadmium, a toxic heavy metal, in your urine to estimate how much has accumulated in your body over time. It helps show whether long-term exposure is reaching levels that could damage your kidneys or bones. While the results help rule out heavy metal toxicity as a cause of your symptoms, this test cannot identify the exact source of the exposure or diagnose other kidney conditions on its own.
