The 9 tests in this panel

What each one measures and the range labs usually print for adults. Ranges differ a little between labs, so the range on your own report is the one your result is judged against.

  • Arsenic, Urine

    Measures how much arsenic is in a single urine sample, a common first test for recent arsenic exposure.

    Adults
    up to 35 µg/L

  • Arsenic/Creatinine Ratio, Urine

    Arsenic in a single urine sample, divided by creatinine to adjust for how dilute the urine is.

    18+
    up to 24 µg/g creatinine

  • Cadmium, Urine

    Measures cadmium, a toxic metal, in a urine sample. It mostly reflects how much has built up in the body over years.

    Adults
    up to 1 µg/L

  • Cadmium/Creatinine Ratio, Urine

    Cadmium in a urine sample divided by the creatinine in the same sample. This evens out how watery the urine is and mainly reflects long-term exposure.

    18+
    up to 0.6 µg/g creatinine

  • Lead, Urine

    Measures lead in a single urine sample. It is less common than blood lead and is used mostly for follow-up or workplace monitoring.

    Adults
    up to 5 µg/L

  • Lead/Creatinine Ratio, Urine

    Lead in a urine sample, shown per gram of creatinine so the result is not thrown off by how dilute your urine is.

    18+
    up to 2 µg/g creatinine

  • Mercury, Urine

    Mercury in a single urine sample, mostly from inorganic or elemental mercury such as vapor from spills, fillings or work exposure.

    Adults
    up to 5 µg/L

  • Mercury/Creatinine Ratio, Urine

    Mercury in a urine sample shown per gram of creatinine, so the result is not thrown off by how dilute your urine is.

    18+
    up to 2 µg/g creatinine

  • Urine Creatinine, Random

    How much creatinine, a muscle waste product, is in one urine sample. It shows how concentrated the urine is and is used to correct other urine results.

    18+
    16–326 mg/dL
