Cadmium Test and its Function
A Cadmium test is a laboratory test used to measure the level of cadmium in the body. Cadmium is a toxic heavy metal that can accumulate in the body over time, primarily through exposure to contaminated air, water, food, or occupational settings.
Conditions that may require Cadmium Test
Occupational Exposure: Workers who are exposed to cadmium as part of their job, particularly in industries where cadmium is used or released, may undergo regular Cadmium testing as a part of occupational health and safety monitoring.
Environmental Exposure: Individuals living in or near areas with high environmental cadmium contamination, such as near industrial sites or areas with contaminated soil or water, may be tested to assess their level of cadmium exposure.
Cadmium Test Procedure
The Cadmium Test is a simple blood test that can be performed in a laboratory. Before the test, the patient may be asked to avoid certain medications that may affect the results. During the test, our healthcare professional will use a needle to draw blood from a vein in the patient’s arm. The blood sample will then be sent to our laboratory for analysis.
Interpreting Cadmium Test Results
Interpreting Cadmium test results involves comparing the measured cadmium level with established reference ranges or thresholds for safe exposure. Elevated cadmium levels may indicate current or past exposure to cadmium, and further evaluation may be required to determine the source of exposure and assess potential health effects.
