Barium, Urine

This test measures the amount of barium in your urine to check for recent exposure to this metal. It helps determine if high levels of barium are present, which can lead to symptoms like muscle weakness, breathing difficulties, or heart rhythm changes. This result helps doctors rule out barium toxicity as the cause of your symptoms. However, the test cannot identify exactly where the exposure came from or determine if permanent damage has occurred.
