Laboratory assay overview

Manganese deficiency produces growth disorders, alters skeletal and cartilage formation and impairs reproduction. Industrial workers absorb manganese mainly through the lungs.

Laboratory assay overview

Confirm manganese exposure, toxicity, or poisoning by documenting excessive urine excretion of the metal. Also used to individualize manganese dosing in long-term parenteral nutrition, especially in liver disease, when biliary excretion is low, or when there is excessive gastrointestinal losses, such as in short bowel syndrome. Has been used to follow the success of chelation therapy with para-aminosalicylate sodium in manganism.

Verify these ranges and sources

We compile every detail above directly from named laboratory directories and published clinical studies. Laboratories calculate standard reference intervals from the statistical distribution of tested populations for a specific assay method and demographic group, rather than setting universal optimal targets.
