Arsenic, Blood

Arsenic exposure is a serious health concern, and this blood test provides crucial insight when recent poisoning is suspected. Because arsenic is rapidly cleared from the bloodstream, this test is specifically designed to detect acute or very recent exposure, typically within 48 hours. Physicians use the Arsenic, Blood panel to diagnose immediate exposure and to monitor the effectiveness of any initiated treatment. Concentrations above 12 ng/mL indicate significant exposure that requires prompt attention. If you suspect you've been recently exposed to a toxic environment, this fast-acting assessment is vital for informing your necessary next steps.
