Lead is a toxic heavy metal that accumulates in the body over time. Even low levels of lead exposure can cause health problems including high blood pressure, kidney damage, and neurological effects. This test is important for anyone concerned about lead exposure from older homes (lead paint), contaminated water, occupational exposure, or environmental sources.
Measures the blood lead level (BLL) — the standard test for detecting recent or ongoing lead exposure in adults, per CDC and OSHA surveillance guidelines.
Adults living in pre-1978 housing during renovation, anyone with lead pipes or well water concerns, occupational exposure (construction, battery, firing ranges, radiator repair), hobbyists working with solder/stained glass/reloading, and anyone with unexplained fatigue, abdominal pain, or neuropathy plus an exposure history.
