Arsenic

IntroLab in Belgrade is the ideal place for arsenic testing. Our facility is equipped with modern equipment and conducts high-quality biochemical analyses.

When is arsenic testing performed?

Arsenic testing can be done at any time during IntroLab’s working hours. No appointment is necessary; you can visit the laboratory at your convenience, and our team will take care of your needs.

Why is this test done?

Arsenic is a toxic element that can enter the body through various sources, such as water, food, or exposure to industrial chemicals. This test helps detect possible arsenic poisoning and provides information about your overall health.

How long does the testing take?

The test involves a blood draw, which is a quick and relatively painless process. After the sample is taken, our laboratory team will analyze the arsenic content in the blood. Results will be available within 15 days.

Preparation for testing

No special preparation is required before the procedure. However, it is important to inform the laboratory team about any medications or supplements you are taking, as these can affect the interpretation of the results. It is also recommended that the patient is well-hydrated before the blood draw.

Specifics and subtypes of testing

Arsenic testing is typically performed at a basic level by measuring total arsenic in the blood. However, in some cases, additional tests for heavy metals may be necessary to determine the presence of specific forms of arsenic. These additional tests can be more complex and may require extra time to obtain results.
