Order Nickel, Urine testThe Nickel, Urine Profile measures the amount of nickel excreted in urine.

Because the body clears nickel mainly through the kidneys, urine testing can provide information about recent exposure and how efficiently the metal is being eliminated.
About Nickel, Urine test in Oxnard
This profile is used to assess nickel exposure by quantifying urinary nickel output.
Nickel is absorbed through inhalation, ingestion, and, to a lesser extent, skin contact. Once in the bloodstream, it is distributed to tissues and eventually excreted, primarily in urine. A urine nickel measurement reflects the amount of the metal that has been taken in and is being cleared by the kidneys.
The test is typically ordered when there is reason to suspect occupational or environmental exposure, or when a person has symptoms that could be consistent with nickel toxicity. It may also be used to monitor individuals who work with nickel-containing materials or who handle nickel compounds regularly.
Results are reported as a concentration or as a total amount over a defined collection period. Because nickel is common in the environment, even people without unusual exposure can have detectable levels. Interpretation therefore depends on the collection method, the timing of the sample, and the individual's history.
