Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Heavy Metals Panel 6 in urine?
It measures six toxic metals — Lead, Mercury, Arsenic, Cadmium, Aluminum, and Chromium — excreted in urine to assess body burden and exposure risk.
Is fasting required before this test?
No, fasting is not required for a 6-metal urine panel. Normal diet does not significantly affect metal excretion levels.
How should urine be collected for this test?
A 24-hour urine collection or a random first-morning void is accepted. The sample must be collected in a clean, acid-washed container to avoid contamination.
