What is Heavy metals (Aluminum, Arsenic, Antimony, Barium, Cadmium, Lead, Mercury, Strontium, Tin)?
Heavy metals testing measures levels of several metals in the blood that can be harmful at high amounts. The panel includes metals like lead, mercury, arsenic and cadmium. It is particularly important for people with diabetes or hypertension, the two leading causes of chronic kidney disease in India, responsible for over 60% of cases requiring dialysis.
What does Heavy metals measure?
These metals can damage the kidneys, nerves, developing brains, and other organs when exposure is high or prolonged. Doctors use these tests to find recent or ongoing exposure, diagnose poisoning, monitor treatment, and screen people at occupational or environmental risk. Results help guide removal of the exposure and medical care. They may also be used in routine public health investigations.
What symptoms suggest Heavy metals may be needed?
Heavy metals is generally requested as part of a kidney function assessment. Doctors commonly investigate this area when someone reports ankle or leg swelling, reduced urine output, frothy or foamy urine, persistent fatigue, loss of appetite, nausea, persistent itching, muscle cramps, and high blood pressure. Whether Heavy metals specifically is the right test depends on your history and what your doctor is looking for. In Guwahati, you can book this test online and check whether home collection reaches Maligaon, Rukminigaon or your address.

How accurate is Heavy metals?

Are there any risks to Heavy metals?
