"As a clinician, I understand that waiting for heavy metal results can be stressful. This comprehensive panel offers clarity, but every value must be interpreted alongside your symptoms and exposure history—no single number defines your health. Please continue any prescribed treatments unless your doctor advises otherwise."

Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance
What does the Metal Screen 2 test detect?
This test quantifies lead, mercury, arsenic, cadmium, and chromium in whole blood to confirm heavy metal toxicity. Additional rare elements may be flagged depending on exposure history. The method detects concentrations down to parts‑per‑billion (ppb) using ICP‑MS with Zeeman correction, ensuring minimal false positives.
ما هي المعادن التي يكشفها تحليل فحص المعادن 2؟
يقيس الفحص تركيز الرصاص والزئبق والزرنيخ والكادميوم والكروم في الدم الكامل لتشخيص التسمم بالمعادن الثقيلة. قد يتم رصد عناصر إضافية نادرة حسب تاريخ التعرض المهني.
How should I prepare for the?
Refrain from seafood, herbal and mineral supplements, vitamin B12, and vitamin B complex for three days prior. If you have had contrast media (gadolinium/iodine) within 96 hours, reschedule. Maintain normal hydration; no fasting required. Inform the phlebotomist of any metal implants or occupational exposure.

What do abnormal results mean?
High heavy metal levels suggest exposure; your physician will correlate with symptoms and may advise chelation treatment. Mild elevations often indicate environmental or dietary sources. Repeat testing and source identification are typical next steps. Results must be interpreted in accordance with UAE occupational safety limits (MOHAP Circular 2026).
ماذا تعني النتائج غير الطبيعية؟
ارتفاع مستويات المعادن الثقيلة يشير إلى التعرض، وسيقوم الطبيب بتفسير النتائج بناءً على الأعراض وقد يوصي بالعلاج بالاستخلاب. قد تتطلب الحالات البسيطة إعادة الفحص وتحديد المصدر.
