If you're concerned about the possibility of heavy metal accumulation in your body, the Toxic Metals Panel Fecal Test measures fecal levels of antimony, arsenic, beryllium, bismuth, cadmium, copper, lead, mercury, nickel, platinum, thallium, tungsten and uranium. If you're concerned about the possibility of heavy metal accumulation in your body, this Toxic Metals Panel is an important step to measure the following analytes: Antimony, Arsenic, Beryllium, Bismuth, Cadmium, Cesium, Copper, Gadolinium, Lead, Manganese, Mercury (best for dental amalgam exposure), Nickel, Platinum, Thallium, Tungsten, Uranium Analysis of elements in feces provides a means to assess oral exposure, and to a lesser extent endogenous detoxification of potentially toxic metals. For several toxic elements such as mercury, cadmium, lead, antimony and uranium, biliary excretion of metals into feces is a primary natural route of elimination from the body. Studies performed at Doctor’s Data demonstrate that the fecal mercury content and number of amalgam surfaces are highly correlated. Therefore people with several amalgams in place will typically have higher concentrations of fecal mercury than people without amalgams. Results are reported as mg/kg dry weight of feces to eliminate the influence of variability in water content of fecal specimens. Since this test reflects both oral exposure and biliary excretion of metals, overt clinical associations are not directly implied.
