Frequently Asked Questions

The Cadmium Random Urine test measures the level of cadmium in the urine, which helps assess exposure to this toxic heavy metal. Long-term exposure can lead to kidney damage, bone disease, and other health issues.

Individuals working in industries involving batteries, pigments, metal plating, or smoking may be at risk of cadmium exposure and should consider this test.

A random urine sample is collected and analyzed using atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS) or inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS).

Elevated cadmium levels indicate exposure, which may lead to kidney dysfunction and bone damage over time.

If high cadmium levels are detected, further evaluation and removal from the exposure source are recommended.
