Lead is a heavy element that is found in small amounts in the earth’s crust (the uppermost rocky layer of the earth’s surface). Lead poisoning occurs when lead builds up in the body over time, leading to a wide range of symptoms and health issues. Heavy Metal - Lead is a diagnostic test that is recommended when a person exhibits signs of potential lead poisoning.

Symptoms of Lead Poisoning

Lead poisoning can affect different parts of the body and cause a wide range of symptoms that may include:
1. Abdominal pain
2. Headaches
3. Fatigue and weakness
4. Irritability
5. Learning difficulties
6. High blood pressure
7. Joint and muscle pain
8. Constipation

The symptoms are mild at the early stages of lead poisoning and usually worsen over time. In severe cases, lead poisoning can cause seizures, coma, and even death.

Test Procedure

The Lead Blood Panel test is a simple procedure that involves drawing a small amount of blood from the patient's arm using a needle. The blood sample is then analyzed in a laboratory to measure the level of lead in the bloodstream. This process is quick, safe, and performed by a trained healthcare professional at the patient's convenience.

Treatment

In case of a positive result, individuals can receive medical treatment for lead poisoning based on the severity of their condition. Treatment options may include chelation therapy, which involves administering a medication that binds with lead in the bloodstream and removes it from the body.
