Test Details:
The Cadmium 24-hour urine test is a diagnostic test used to measure the levels of cadmium in a person’s urine over a 24-hour period. Cadmium is a toxic heavy metal that can accumulate in the body through exposure to certain industrial processes, smoking, and contaminated food or water.
This test is typically ordered if a person has been exposed to cadmium or if there are concerns about cadmium toxicity. It is commonly used in occupational health settings to monitor workers who may be at risk of cadmium exposure.
To perform the test, the patient is given a container to collect all urine produced over a 24-hour period. It is important to collect all urine during this time and avoid any contamination. The collected urine is then sent to a laboratory for analysis.
The laboratory will measure the amount of cadmium present in the urine sample. Normal levels of cadmium in urine are typically less than 2 micrograms per gram of creatinine. Higher levels may indicate recent exposure to cadmium or ongoing cadmium toxicity.
It is important to note that the interpretation of the test results should be done by a healthcare professional familiar with the patient’s medical history and exposure risks. They will consider the individual’s specific circumstances to determine if any further action or treatment is necessary.
