Cadmium Whole Blood by ICPMS near me in Gautam Buddha Nagar

The Cadmium Whole Blood by ICPMS is a blood test that measures the amount of cadmium, a toxic metal found in the environment that can be released from human activities such as the use of cadmium containing batteries and phosphate fertilizers, incineration of electronic wastes and tobacco smoking. It enters the body through food, water, or air, and accumulates in the blood.

The Cadmium Whole Blood by ICPMS test is used to identify cadmium toxicity (excess of cadmium) in the body. It is done when there are symptoms suggestive of excessive cadmium in the body such as abdominal cramps and pain, nausea, diarrhea, swelling of the throat, tenesmus (a frequent urge to go to the bathroom without being able to go), abnormal heartbeat, bone weakness and pain, kidney damage, etc. This test is also recommended for individuals working in industries involving cadmium, living in areas with high environmental cadmium levels, or those who need ongoing monitoring due to known cadmium exposure.

To prevent cadmium toxicity, avoid smoking, reduce exposure in industries that use or release cadmium, and ensure access to clean food, water, and air, which helps minimize cadmium buildup in the body and protect against related health issues. This test is done by a highly specialised Mass Spectrometric technique (ICP-MS) that can measure elements at trace levels in body fluids.

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