Description:
Cobalt and Chromium Blood Test
This test measures Cobalt and Chromium levels in the blood. Cobalt and Chromium are elements which can contribute to good health in the proper amounts. Toxicity due to over exposure can lead to a variety of health concerns. These tests are designed to screen for exposure due to the materials in metal on metal (MoM) implants such as those used in hip replacements. Over time, the natural wear on these implants may release metallic particles into the body which can cause long term health problems.
Customers testing due to workplace exposure should order the individual Cobalt and Chromium blood tests.
The turnaround time for the Cobalt and Chromium Blood Test is typically 5-8 business days.
