Thallium ICPMS Blood near me in Lucknow

The Thallium ICPMS Blood test measures the amount of thallium in the blood. Thallium is a toxic heavy metal  which enters into the body through skin contact with thallium-containing compounds, inhalation of thallium dust or fumes, or ingestion of contaminated food or water. The Thallium ICPMS Blood test is used to assess thallium exposure and identify thallium poisoning. It may be advised when there are symptoms suggestive  of thallium toxicity, such as nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhea, hair loss, weakness, or neurological symptoms like confusion or numbness. The test is particularly crucial for individuals working in industries where thallium exposure is common, such as electronics manufacturing or chemical production. Additionally, it is used to monitor individuals undergoing treatment for thallium toxicity or those who may have a history or suspicion of exposure to thallium.

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