Manganese is an essential mineral that plays a role in the formation of bones, blood clotting, and the regulation of brain and nerve functions. It is naturally found in many foods and water.
Testing for manganese levels can be useful in diagnosing manganese deficiency or manganese toxicity, both of which can lead to serious health problems. Deficiencies are rare, but an excess can occur in people who work with manganese-containing metals or chemicals, or in people who consume drinking water with high manganese concentrations.
The manganese test measures the amount of manganese in the blood. Normal values vary, but significantly abnormal levels can indicate a problem with the absorption, processing, or excretion of manganese in the body.
A high manganese level can indicate manganese poisoning, which can lead to neurological problems such as tremors, difficulty walking, and psychological problems such as irritation or hallucinations. Long-term effects may include permanent brain damage.
A low manganese level may indicate a deficiency, although this is rare. Deficiencies can lead to problems such as bone deformities, poor blood clotting, and reduced fertility in men.
