Frequently Asked Questions

This test measures mercury levels in urine to assess exposure to mercury from food, occupation, or environmental sources.

Individuals with suspected mercury exposure, such as workers in chemical industries or those who consume large amounts of seafood, should take this test.

A random urine sample is collected, with no need for fasting or special preparation.

Elevated mercury levels indicate possible toxicity, which can lead to neurological issues, kidney damage, and digestive problems.

Reducing exposure, following a detox plan, and, in severe cases, undergoing chelation therapy can help remove mercury from the body.
