Panels that include this biomarker

  • Mercury, Urine 007773

    4 analytes · Urine · Fasting not stated · Turnaround 2 - 5 days

    Method and collection
    Method
    Inductively-coupled plasma/mass spectrometry (ICP/MS)
    Collection
    Sampling time is preshift (meaning 16 hours without exposure). Optional protocol: Instruct the patient to void at 8 AM and discard the specimen. Then collect all urine including the final specimen voided at the end of the 24-hour collection period (ie, 8 AM the next morning). Screw the lid on securely. Mix well.
    Reference notes
    • Environmental exposure: <5.0 μg/g creatinine, <20.0 μg/L • Occupational exposure: BEI® (inorganic mercury, sampling time is preshift): 20 μg/g creatinine1

  • Heavy Metals Profile I, Urine 007046

    9 analytes · Urine · Fasting not stated · Turnaround 3 - 6 days

    Method and collection
    Method
    Inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS)
    Preparation
    Patient should avoid seafood and red wine 72 hours prior to collection.
    Collection
    Sampling time is not critical for industrial monitoring. Optional protocol : Instruct the patient to void at 8 AM and discard the specimen. Then collect all urine including the final specimen voided at the end of the 24-hour collection period (ie, 8 AM the next morning). Avoid contact with metal during collection. Screw the lid on securely. See individual tests for collection times for industrial monitoring.

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.
