Urine test result - please Help - what does it mean? High Lead.

[Guest guest]

my 3.10 year old's (34 pounds) urine toxic metal test (from DDI) just

came. His lead was very high. Mercury and Nickel was high too.

Lead 94 ug/g (Normal Range <20)

Mercury 7.4 ug/g (Normal Range <5)

Lead 52 ug/g (Normal Range <20)

Creatinine 8.4mg/dL was Low (Normal Range 21-76)

Everything else came normal.

It was an 8 hour provoked Urine collection (ICP-MS method)

Someone please tell me what this means. Thanks in advance.

Very little.

DMSA greatly increases lead excretion. Typically by a factor of 12 or

more. Thus yoru 94 may be more like an unprovoked 7 or 8, very normal.

Similarly for nickel (which I presume is the second thing you mark as

" lead " ).

I would check the hair test (doctor's data hair element profile) and

think carefully about his situation, as well as considering a

behavioral optometric vision exam (lead and mercury do different things

to vision) and considering testing your water.
