CADMIUM RANDOM URINE Test
Test Details
The Cadmium Random Urine test is a laboratory test that measures the levels of cadmium in a person’s urine. Cadmium is a toxic heavy metal that can be found in certain industrial and environmental settings, such as battery manufacturing, mining, and cigarette smoke.
The test is typically ordered to assess occupational or environmental exposure to cadmium, as well as to monitor the effectiveness of treatment for cadmium toxicity. It can also be used to diagnose and monitor kidney damage caused by cadmium exposure.
To perform the test, a urine sample is collected randomly throughout the day and sent to a laboratory for analysis. The sample is tested for the presence and concentration of cadmium. Normal levels of cadmium in urine vary depending on factors such as age, sex, and exposure history. Elevated levels of cadmium in urine may indicate recent exposure to cadmium or chronic cadmium toxicity.
Test Name: CADMIUM RANDOM URINE Test
Components
- Price: 750.0 AED
- Sample Condition: 10 mL (5 mL min.) aliquot of random urine collected in an acid-washed (metal free) container available from LPL. Ship refrigerated or frozen.
- Patient should avoid eating seafood at least 3 days prior to specimen collection. Use powderless gloves during specimen collection. Avoid catheterized urine specimen as rubber contains trace amounts of cadmium.

Pre Test Information
Patient should avoid eating seafood at least 3 days prior to specimen collection. If Gadolinium or Iodine containing contrast media has been administered, the specimen should not be collected for 96 hours. Avoid catheterized urine specimen as rubber contains trace amounts of cadmium.
Symptoms of Cadmium Toxicity
Symptoms of cadmium toxicity can include fatigue, weakness, kidney damage, and respiratory problems.
Treatment for Cadmium Toxicity
Treatment for cadmium toxicity typically involves removing the source of exposure and providing supportive care to manage symptoms.
It is important to note that the Cadmium Random Urine test is not routinely performed and is typically only ordered if there is a suspected exposure or symptoms of cadmium toxicity. It is best to consult with a healthcare provider for more information on the test and its implications.
