CADMIUM BLOOD Test – Cost, Symptoms, Diagnosis | DNA Labs UAE
At DNA Labs UAE, we offer the CADMIUM BLOOD Test to assess the levels of cadmium in the blood. Cadmium is a toxic metal that can be found in industrial processes, cigarette smoke, and certain foods. This test helps determine occupational exposure to cadmium or investigate possible cadmium poisoning. It can also be part of a general heavy metal screening test.
Test Details
A cadmium blood test measures the levels of cadmium in the blood. During the test, a healthcare professional will collect a blood sample from a vein in the arm. The sample will then be sent to our laboratory for analysis. Results are typically reported as micrograms of cadmium per liter of blood (µg/L).

Symptoms and Diagnosis
Exposure to high levels of cadmium can be harmful to the body, particularly the kidneys and lungs. Symptoms of cadmium poisoning may include fatigue, nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain. The CADMIUM BLOOD Test helps in diagnosing excessive exposure to cadmium.
Interpreting the Results
Normal cadmium levels in the blood vary depending on an individual’s exposure to the metal. However, levels above 5 µg/L are generally considered elevated and may indicate excessive exposure. If high levels of cadmium are detected, further investigation and intervention may be required to minimize exposure and prevent health complications. It is important to consult a healthcare professional familiar with the patient’s medical history and the specific circumstances of exposure for proper interpretation of the test results.
