About Nickel, Urine test in Pacifica
Nickel is a naturally occurring element found in soil, water, and many metal alloys.
Urine testing captures nickel that the body has absorbed and is in the process of eliminating. It is most informative when collected as a spot sample or as part of a timed collection, depending on the lab's protocol.
Exposure to nickel can occur through inhalation of dust or fumes, skin contact with nickel-containing items, and ingestion of certain foods or water. The kidneys filter and excrete nickel, making urine a practical specimen for evaluating recent uptake.
Results are reported as a concentration, often in micrograms per liter or micrograms per gram of creatinine, and should be interpreted alongside the collection method and the individual's exposure history.
