Description:
Chromium Blood Test
This test is used to measure Chromium levels in the blood. Chromium is a mineral which, at normal levels, helps maintain good health. Chromium toxicity, which typically occurs due to workplace exposure, can be dangerous to a person's health. The most common form of exposure to Chromium is inhalation. Chromium exposure can result in skin irritation, kidney and liver damage, lung cancer and male reproductive issues.
This test is typically ordered by anyone who is concerned they may be suffering from Chromium exposure especially if they work in industries where Chromium is present.
For additional Heavy Metal testing, see out Heavy Metals Category.
Due to a delay at the lab, turnaround time for this test is currently up to 5 business days.
