Cobalt, Random Urine

Laboratory: Quest Diagnostics
Test code: 37513
Specimen: Urine
Fasting: Not stated
LOINC: 5628-3
Turnaround: Set up: Tues-Sat

Laboratory assay overview

Cobalt is part of our diet. Approximately 85% of absorbed cobalt is excreted in the urine and the remainder eliminated in stool. Toxicity may occur in select industrial environments. Cobalt is not mined in the United States so primary supplies are imported.

Quest Diagnostics population reference ranges

Quest Diagnostics calculates these statistical intervals for this specific assay and demographic group, not as universal optimal targets.

Population	Range
Non-exposed Adult	≤2.8 mcg/L
Biological Exposure Index (end of shift/work week)	≤15.0 mcg/L

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.

Always review your personal lab results with a licensed clinician, or track your lab history and health goals in Aumnivida.
