Test Details:
A thallium blood test is a laboratory test that measures the level of thallium in the blood. Thallium is a heavy metal that can be toxic to the body in high amounts. The test is usually ordered if there is a suspicion of thallium poisoning or exposure. Thallium poisoning can occur through ingestion, inhalation, or skin contact with thallium-containing substances. It can lead to various symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, hair loss, nerve damage, and heart problems.
The blood test helps to determine the amount of thallium present in the body and can be used to diagnose thallium poisoning. It is typically performed by drawing a blood sample from a vein in the arm. The sample is then sent to a laboratory for analysis.
If thallium poisoning is confirmed, treatment will depend on the severity of symptoms and the amount of thallium in the body. Treatment may include supportive care, chelation therapy to remove thallium from the body, and medications to manage symptoms.
It is important to note that the thallium blood test is not a routine test and is only ordered when there is a specific concern for thallium poisoning or exposure.
