Test Overview
The ARSENIC 24 HOUR URINE Test quantifies total arsenic excreted over a full day using ICP‑MS, enabling precise detection of chronic low‑level exposure. This gold‑standard assessment is essential for monitoring industrial workers, evaluating unexplained neuropathies, or confirming environmental heavy metal burden. يقيس هذا الاختبار الزرنيخ الكلي في بول 24 ساعة بدقة متناهية.
| Feature | Our Test (ClarityLab) | Closest Alternative |
|---|---|---|
| Precision & Sensitivity | 99.9% diagnostic sensitivity; ICP‑MS quantifies down to 0.1 µg/L | Spot urine arsenic; semi‑quantitative, variable dilution, often misses low‑levels |
| Methodology | Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP‑MS) – DHA/MOHAP standard reference | Atomic absorption or colorimetric; less sensitive, no speciation capability |
| Turnaround Time | Next day (sample received by 6 PM) | 3‑5 business days |
| Home Collection | Yes – cold‑chain, metal‑free kit, 8 AM‑11 PM | Rarely offered; self‑drop risky |
Physician Insight & Safety Protocol
“As a DHA‑licensed specialist (ID 61713011), I emphasize that an elevated urine arsenic level must always be correlated with your clinical history, occupational exposure, and dietary habits. A single numerical value cannot replace a comprehensive physical examination. Your health journey is personal – we interpret your results within your full medical narrative.”
– Dr. PRABHAKAR REDDY, Nephrology & Internal Medicine
⚠ Medication and Safety Warning
Do not discontinue prescribed medication without consulting your doctor. This test is not a substitute for ongoing treatment. If you are taking chelating agents or supplements, only adjust them under medical supervision.
Exclusion Criteria & Emergency Red Flags
- If you received Gadolinium or Iodine contrast media within the last 96 hours – collection must be postponed.
- Avoid seafood and herbal supplements for 3 days prior; failure may cause falsely elevated results.
- Seek immediate emergency care (call 998) if you experience sudden severe abdominal pain, garlic‑scented breath, profuse vomiting, or irregular heartbeat – these may indicate acute arsenic poisoning; this 24‑hour test is not designed for acute poisoning diagnosis.
- Use only powderless gloves during collection to avoid external metal contamination.
Pre‑Test Requirements & Collection Kit
- Sample: 10 mL aliquot from a well‑mixed 24‑hour urine collection in an acid‑washed, metal‑free container (kit provided).
- Record total 24‑hour urine volume on both the vial and test request form.
- Ship refrigerated or frozen immediately; our phlebotomist handles cold‑chain logistics.
- Seafood, shellfish, and herbal supplements must be avoided for 3 days before collection.
- If contrast media (Gadolinium/Iodine) was administered, wait 96 hours before collecting.
- Use powderless gloves during specimen handling.
Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance
Why must I avoid seafood and herbal supplements for 3 days before the arsenic urine test?
Certain seafood and herbal preparations contain naturally high arsenobetaine or organic arsenic forms that can temporarily raise urine levels. Avoiding them for 72 hours ensures the test reflects true inorganic arsenic exposure from industrial or environmental sources, not diet. This precaution aligns with UAE toxicology guidelines for heavy metal monitoring.
يجب تجنب المأكولات البحرية والمكملات العشبية لمدة 3 أيام قبل جمع البول لأنها تحتوي على مركبات الزرنيخ العضوية التي قد ترفع النتيجة بشكل مؤقت.
How do I correctly collect the 24‑hour urine sample for arsenic testing?
Using the metal‑free kit provided, discard the first morning urine, then collect every void for the next 24 hours in the acid‑washed container. After the full collection period, mix the total volume thoroughly, transfer 10 mL into the aliquot vial, record the total volume, and keep the specimen refrigerated. Our home collection team can guide you step‑by‑step; they will verify the labelling and cold‑chain transfer immediately.
استخدم الوعاء الخالي من المعادن المتوفر، تخلص من أول بول صباحي، ثم اجمع كل البول لمدة 24 ساعة. انقل 10 مل إلى القارورة بعد الخلط وسجل الحجم الكلي.
Can I take this test if I recently had a CT scan with contrast dye?
You must wait at least 96 hours after any Gadolinium or Iodine‑based contrast administration before collecting the urine specimen for arsenic. These contrast agents can interfere with ICP‑MS measurement and may cause inaccurate results. If the waiting period cannot be accommodated, reschedule the after consulting your physician.
يجب الانتظار 96 ساعة على الأقل بعد حقن مواد التباين (الجادولينيوم أو اليود) قبل جمع العينة لتجنب التداخل في نتائج التحليل.
