In medical usage, the term "heavy metal" is used as a general term for all metals and semimetals with human or environmental toxicity, regardless of their atomic weight. Lead, mercury, cadmium, and arsenic are primary examples of such toxic metals and the most common types of exposure. In general, heavy metal toxicity is not a common diagnosis. However, if unrecognized or misdiagnosed, heavy metal poisoning can result in serious health problems and mortality.
Heavy metal exposure may occur through your diet, from the environment, from medications, or from other aspects of your daily life. If you suspect heavy metal exposure a thorough dietary, occupational, and recreational history should be performed, since removal of the source of exposure is often the only cure needed.
Please avoid seafood and red wine for 72 hours prior to having this test administered.
