Tests that measure Cobalt, 24-Hour Urine: Quest Diagnostics 2

Ranges

Each lab publishes a reference range for the population groups it tests, usually the middle 95% of results. These intervals describe that population, not an optimal or healthy target. How ranges differ

Cobalt, 24-Hour Urine 14761
Urine · Fasting not stated · Turnaround Set up: Tues-Sat
Method and collection
Method
Inductively Coupled Plasma/Mass Spectrometry (ICP/MS)
Collection
Avoid worksite collection. Collect urine in an acid-washed or metal-free plastic container. Tests performed on a specimen submitted in a non-trace element tube or non acid-washed/non metal-free container may not accurately reflect the patient's level. If a non-trace element tube/container is received, it will be accepted for testing. However, elevated results shall be reported with a message that a re-submission with a trace element tube/container is recommended.

Verify these ranges and sources

We compile this page from named laboratory catalogs, guidelines and studies. Labs calculate reference intervals from the people they test, for one assay method and one population group, so an interval describes that population rather than an optimal target.
