Heavy Metals Profile II, Whole Blood

This test measures the levels of four toxic metals—arsenic, lead, mercury, and cadmium—circulating in your blood. It helps show whether you have recently been exposed to harmful amounts of these substances, which can cause symptoms like fatigue, nausea, or nerve damage. Doctors use these results to determine if heavy metal toxicity is the cause of unexplained health issues. However, this test primarily detects recent exposure and does not measure metals that may be stored in your organs or bones from past contact.
