Test Details
The Mercury 24-hour urine test is a diagnostic test used to measure the level of mercury in a person’s body. It is typically performed when there is a concern about mercury exposure or toxicity. To perform the test, the patient is given a container to collect all urine produced over a 24-hour period. It is important to follow specific instructions provided by the healthcare provider to ensure accurate results. These instructions may include avoiding certain foods and medications that can interfere with the test.
After the 24-hour collection period, the urine sample is sent to a laboratory for analysis. The laboratory measures the amount of mercury present in the urine sample. The results are then interpreted by a healthcare provider to determine if there is a normal level of mercury or if further investigation is needed.
High levels of mercury in the urine may indicate exposure to mercury through various sources, such as contaminated food, dental fillings, or occupational exposure. Symptoms of mercury toxicity can vary and may include neurological, gastrointestinal, and respiratory issues.
It is important to note that the Mercury 24-hour urine test is not a routine test and is typically ordered when there is a specific concern about mercury exposure. If you suspect mercury exposure or have symptoms that may be related to mercury toxicity, it is recommended to consult with a healthcare provider for appropriate testing and evaluation.
