Blood lead testing measures the amount of lead in your blood. Lead is a toxic heavy metal that can accumulate in the body and cause damage to the brain, kidneys, and nervous system. Exposure sources include lead paint in older homes, contaminated water, certain occupations (construction, battery manufacturing), and imported products. Even low levels of lead exposure can cause health effects.
Single venous blood lead level. The CDC-recommended definitive lead exposure test — replaces fingerstick capillary lead testing (which has higher false-positive rates).
Children in older housing (pre-1978 paint), pregnant women, occupational exposure (construction, demolition, shooting range, auto repair), recent immigrants from countries with leaded gasoline, or anyone with cognitive/behavioral concerns from possible exposure.
