Nickel Blood by ICPMS near me in Gautam Buddha Nagar

The Nickel Blood by ICPMS test measures the amount of nickel in the blood. Nickle is a trace element that enters the body through various sources including dietary intake of nickel rich food sources, drinking water, inhalation of dust or smoke, or skin contact with nickel-containing substances. This test  is used to assess nickel exposure and identify potential nickel toxicity. It may be advised when there are symptoms indicative of nickel exposure, such as skin reactions (rashes, itching, redness, dryness, and blisters), coughing, wheezing, headache, dizziness, or gastrointestinal discomfort. It is also useful for individuals working in industries where nickel exposure is common, such as mining, manufacturing, or welding, and for those who have prolonged contact with nickel-containing items, such as jewelry or metal implants. Additionally, it is helpful in identifying nickel allergic reactions and guiding appropriate management or avoidance strategies for individuals with nickel allergies and toxicity. 

This test is done by a highly specialised Mass Spectrometric technique (ICP-MS) that can measure elements at trace levels in body fluids.
