Zinc, Urine

The Zinc, Urine test helps to determine the levels of zinc in the urine sample. Zinc is an essential mineral that contributes significantly to various bodily functions, including immune system support, wound healing, and metabolism. This test helps identify deficiencies or excesses of the zinc ensuring the optimal presence of this element is necessary for overall well-being. 

The Zinc, Urine test is recommended when an individual experiences symptoms of zinc imbalance in the body such as nausea, vomiting, immune system dysfunction, impaired growth and development, skin disorders, hair loss, diarrhea, and neurological problems. The test is also recommended for individuals who are at risk of zinc toxicity, such as excessive intake of zinc supplements. Additionally, the test may be used to monitor patients undergoing treatment for conditions that affect zinc metabolism or absorption.

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