Order Nickel, Urine testThe Nickel, Urine Profile measures the amount of nickel excreted in urine.

Because the body clears absorbed nickel largely through the kidneys, a urine measurement can provide useful information about recent exposure and the burden being eliminated.
About Nickel, Urine test in Clinton
This profile is a laboratory measurement of nickel concentration in a urine specimen.
Urine nickel testing is typically used to assess exposure to nickel or to help evaluate whether a person has been absorbing more nickel than usual. It is most informative when the sample is collected according to the laboratory's instructions, since the timing and handling of the specimen can affect the result.
Nickel can enter the body through inhalation, ingestion, or skin contact. Occupational settings such as metalworking, electroplating, and battery manufacturing are common sources of higher exposure, while dietary intake and certain consumer products can contribute for the general population. The kidneys filter and excrete nickel, which is why urine is a practical specimen for this measurement.
Results are reported as a concentration or as an amount excreted over a collection period, depending on the method requested. A single result reflects recent elimination rather than a lifetime body burden, so clinicians interpret it alongside exposure history, symptoms, and other laboratory findings. Reference ranges vary by laboratory, and results should be discussed with a qualified healthcare professional.
