Urine toxic and essential elements analysis is an invaluable tool for the assessment of retention of recent toxic metal exposures in the body. Typically urine toxic elements analysis will demonstrate exposures within the past 2-3 days.  Toxic metals do not have any useful physiological function, adversely affect virtually every organ system and disrupt the homeostasis of nutrient elements.

Analysis of the levels of toxic metals in urine is an objective way to evaluate the accumulation of toxic metals. Acute metal poisoning is rare. More common, however, is a chronic, low-level exposure to toxic metals that can result in significant retention in the body that can be associated with a vast array of adverse health effects and chronic disease. One cannot draw valid conclusions about adverse health effects of metals without assessing net retention. For an individual, toxicity occurs when net retention exceeds physiological tolerance. Net retention is determined by the difference between the rates of assimilation and excretion of metals.

Variability in urine volume can drastically affect the concentration of elements. To compensate for urine dilution variation, elements are expressed per unit creatinine for timed collections.  A sample is collected with the first morning urine and sent in a pre-paid mailer.  For long term body burden of toxic metals such as 1-2 months or more, you may consider a hair toxic metals analysis.   You wil receive your results with a report by e-mail within about a week.
