What is a ANTIMONY Test in Visit Clinic?
What is ANTIMONY?
ANTIMONY measures key markers of kidney function. The kidneys filter approximately 200 litres of blood daily, and any decline in this capacity shows up as elevated markers in the blood. Early detection through this test allows doctors to slow or prevent further kidney damage.
What does ANTIMONY measure?
The antimony test measures the amount of antimony, a heavy metal, in your body. Antimony is not needed for health and can be toxic if you are exposed to enough of it. Measuring antimony helps find recent or ongoing exposure from work, contaminated water, or some medications. A standard blood, urine, or tissue sample is collected depending on the test type. The sample is analysed in a certified laboratory using validated techniques. Each value is compared to a reference range derived from healthy populations, and any value outside this range is flagged for review.
What do the results of ANTIMONY mean?
Your doctor will interpret the result in the context of your overall health picture. A mildly abnormal value may just need a repeat test in a few weeks to confirm whether it is a temporary fluctuation or a persistent finding. Significantly abnormal values may trigger further investigation, medication, or referral to a specialist.
