An Arsenic Level Test checks how much arsenic is in your body. You may also see it called an arsenic blood test, arsenic urine test, or an arsenic exposure test. If your doctor wants to check for recent exposure, LabFinder can help you book at participating labs.
This test, sometimes listed as arsenic urine test or arsenic exposure test, measures arsenic levels from a blood sample or a urine sample. It helps your care team see if you were exposed to arsenic from water, food, work, or the environment.
Common reasons: possible exposure at work or from well water, stomach upset that does not have a clear cause, skin changes like darkening or small spots, tingling or numbness in hands or feet, or when a doctor wants to rule out heavy metal exposure.
You will check in and confirm your ID. For a blood draw, a tech cleans a small area on your arm, draws a tube of blood, and places a bandage. For urine testing, you may give a single sample in a cup or pick up a jug for a 24 hour collection and return it later. Plan about 10 to 20 minutes at the site for the visit itself.
Yes, this is a quick, routine blood draw and is considered very safe. You might feel a quick pinch, notice a small bruise, or feel a little lightheaded for a moment afterward, but those effects usually fade quickly. Be sure to tell the staff if you take blood thinners, have a bleeding disorder, or if you have fainted during blood draws before. They will take extra care to keep you comfortable. Avoid seafood for a few days before testing since it can affect same day results.
Avoid seafood for 48 to 72 hours: fish and shellfish can raise organic arsenic and confuse results. Skip kelp or herbal supplements: some contain arsenic or iodine that can interfere. Limit new exposures: avoid workplace dust or treated wood before testing if possible. Hydrate: drinking water can make giving a sample easier. Bring your medicine list: include recent antibiotics or bismuth products. Always follow any directions from your doctor or the lab and bring prior test results if you have them.
Possible heavy metal exposure, stomach pain or nausea without a clear cause, skin changes, numbness or weakness in the limbs, anemia, and signs that suggest kidney or liver stress. Results must be read in context. Your doctor will review them with your history and symptoms before recommending next steps.
