🧪 Heavy & Toxic Elements Panel (9 Tests)
Element | Fasting Required? | Target Organs/System | Toxicity Effects / Associated Diseases | Common Exposure Sources | Conjunctive Tests |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1. Arsenic | ✅ Yes (8–12 hrs) | Skin, liver, kidneys, lungs | - Skin pigmentation, neuropathy, cancer (skin, bladder) | Contaminated water, seafood, pesticides | CBC, Liver function, Urine arsenic |
2. Cadmium | ✅ Yes | Kidneys, lungs, bones | - Renal damage, osteoporosis, anemia, emphysema | Cigarette smoke, batteries, industrial fumes | Urine cadmium, Creatinine, β2-microglobulin |
3. Chromium | ✅ Yes | Lungs, skin, liver | - Allergic dermatitis, lung cancer (hexavalent Cr) | Stainless steel, dyes, cement, welding | CBC, Liver enzymes, Creatinine |
4. Cobalt | ✅ Yes | Heart, thyroid, nervous system | - Cardiomyopathy, thyroid dysfunction, tremors | Metal implants, pigments, mining | Vitamin B12 (contains cobalt), ECG, TSH |
5. Lead | ✅ Yes | Brain, nerves, blood, kidneys | - Developmental delay, anemia, neurotoxicity | Paints, plumbing, batteries, old pipes | CBC, Zinc protoporphyrin, Urine ALA |
6. Mercury | ✅ Yes | Brain, kidneys | - Tremors, memory loss, renal damage, behavioral changes | Fish (especially tuna), dental fillings, mining | Urine mercury, Neuro exam, GFR |
7. Selenium | ✅ Yes | Liver, heart, skin | - Hair loss, brittle nails, garlic breath, fatigue | Supplements, Brazil nuts, industrial exposure | Thyroid hormones, Liver enzymes |
8. Barium | ✅ Yes | GI tract, muscles, heart | - Nausea, vomiting, arrhythmia at high levels | Drilling fluids, contrast dyes, ceramics | ECG, Serum potassium |
9. Caesium | ✅ Yes | Muscles, heart, nervous system | - Nausea, dizziness, arrhythmias, potassium imbalance | Nuclear fallout, industrial sources | Potassium, ECG, Whole-body scan (radioactive exposure) |
🧠 When to Test for Toxic Elements
- Occupational exposure (e.g., mining, welding, battery factories)
- Neurological symptoms (tremors, memory issues, mood swings)
- Chronic fatigue, unexplained anemia
- Infertility or hormonal imbalance
- Kidney or liver dysfunction without obvious cause
- Suspected heavy metal poisoning in children (especially lead)
🧪 Specimen Types
- Blood: Detects recent or ongoing exposure (lead, mercury, arsenic)
- Urine (24-hour preferred): Reflects body excretion load (cadmium, arsenic, mercury)
- Hair/nail analysis (optional): Shows long-term exposure (e.g., arsenic, lead)
📋 Suggested Conjunctive Panel
For comprehensive evaluation, pair with:
- CBC – for anemia or marrow suppression
- Liver Profile – toxins affect liver enzymes
- Renal Function Tests – heavy metals impair filtration
- Thyroid Profile – for selenium/cobalt effects
- ECG – for barium or caesium-related arrhythmias
- Neuro assessment – for mercury, lead, arsenic toxicity
✅ Summary Table
Test Panel | Key Focus |
|---|---|
Heavy Metals Panel | Detect exposure to environmental/industrial toxins |
Organ Function | Liver, kidney, thyroid, blood system monitoring |
Nutritional Panel | Vitamin B12, Selenium (deficiency vs toxicity) |
Cardiac-Neuro Checks | ECG, cognitive tests if symptoms present |
