What is an Arsenic blood test?
An arsenic blood test measures the concentration of arsenic in the blood. Arsenic is a toxic element found in various environmental, industrial, and household sources. Long-term or high exposure to arsenic can lead to serious health problems, including poisoning, skin lesions, and an increased risk of cancer.
Why should you have an Arsenic blood test done?
This test is especially relevant for people who may have been exposed to arsenic through their living environment, occupation, or consumption of contaminated water or food. It is crucial for the early detection of exposure to prevent or limit potential health damage.
What does it indicate?
An arsenic blood test can help confirm exposure to arsenic and assess the severity of poisoning. Arsenic concentrations in the blood reflect recent exposure and can help determine whether medical intervention is necessary.
What does a high level of Arsenic mean?
A high level of arsenic in the blood indicates recent exposure to a significant amount of arsenic. This may point to acute or chronic poisoning, which requires medical attention to manage potential health effects and prevent further exposure.
What does a low level of Arsenic mean?
A low or non-detectable level of arsenic in the blood suggests minimal to no recent exposure. This is an indication that there is likely no significant health risk related to arsenic poisoning based on the measured concentrations.
