Understanding Arsenic, Urine

Arsenic is a toxic metalloid present in soil, water, and certain foods. Human exposure occurs mainly through drinking arsenic-contaminated water, ingestion of certain foods (like seafood), or occupational contact in industries such as mining, smelting, or pesticide production. Chronic or high-level exposure can lead to serious health issues, including skin lesions, neurological impairments, cardiovascular problems, kidney damage, and increased risk of cancer. 

Normally, the kidneys efficiently eliminate arsenic, keeping tissue levels low. However, prolonged or excessive exposure can lead to accumulation in the body, damaging vital organs like the skin, liver, kidneys, and nervous system. The Arsenic, Urine test helps detect this accumulation early, enabling timely intervention and reducing toxicity risk.

Doctors may recommend this test if a person shows symptoms such as abdominal pain, nausea, numbness or tingling in hands and feet, persistent fatigue, or unexplained skin changes, which may suggest arsenic toxicity. It is also suggested for individuals who show signs of acute arsenic toxicity, have a history of occupational arsenic exposure, and live in areas with high environmental arsenic levels. Additionally, it is useful for monitoring individuals who are undergoing treatment for arsenic poisoning.

The urine sample for the Arsenic, Urine test can be collected at any random time throughout the day. However, the urine sample must preferably be the midstream urine (part of the urine that comes after the first and before the last stream). The test should not be taken within 96 hours after imaging procedures that use gadolinium or iodine-based contrast media, as these may interfere with the results.

Test result ranges may vary across laboratories. Abnormal test results require expert interpretation. Therefore, self-medicating at home based solely on these results should be avoided. Always consult a doctor for a proper understanding of the test results.

Please note: This is an outsourced test. The sample for this test is collected by TATA 1MG and processed at an NABL accredited partnered lab.

What does Arsenic, Urine measure?

The Arsenic, Urine test measures the amount of arsenic being excreted in urine at a single point in time. This gives a snapshot of how much arsenic is currently in the body. Because the kidneys are the main way the body gets rid of arsenic, the test also helps show how well the body is clearing it.

Higher-than-normal arsenic levels in urine may suggest recent exposure to a large amount of arsenic, long-term exposure to small amounts, or reduced kidney function that makes it harder for the body to remove arsenic. However, standard urine arsenic testing does not distinguish between organic and inorganic forms of arsenic unless arsenic speciation is performed, which is important because organic arsenic (commonly from seafood) is generally less toxic.
