Important information
Some elements in this panel are essential nutrients. Detecting them does not mean poisoning. Results must be assessed alongside your symptoms, exposure history and other clinical findings.
This panel does not measure every toxic metal or provide a complete assessment of your body's metal stores. Different samples or further tests may be needed for particular exposures.
If you suspect acute poisoning or become unwell following a significant exposure, seek urgent medical advice. Do not wait for a routine blood-test appointment.
