Frequently Asked Questions

Why is a urine test used for heavy metals instead of blood?

Urine reflects cumulative body burden and recent exposure over days to weeks, making it more sensitive than blood for chronic heavy metal accumulation, especially for arsenic and mercury.

Is fasting required before this test?

No fasting is required. However, avoid seafood for 48 hours before collection as it can cause false-high arsenic results due to harmless organic arsenic from food.

How should I collect the urine sample?

Provide a clean-catch midstream urine sample of at least 10 mL in the sterile container provided. First-morning urine is preferred for highest sensitivity.

What causes elevated levels of these heavy metals?

Arsenic exposure comes from contaminated groundwater, industrial work, and treated wood. Mercury exposure arises from dental amalgams, fish consumption, and occupational settings. Lead exposure is linked to old paint, polluted soil, and certain traditional medicines.

How long does it take to get results?

Results are typically available within 48-72 hours. Verified PDF reports can be accessed via www.drpatholab.in or WhatsApp/Email.

Can medications affect heavy metal results?

Most medications do not interfere, but chelation therapy will dramatically lower urine metal levels and should be disclosed to your doctor before testing.
