What's this test for?

This test is ideal if you're experiencing symptoms like skin changes, nausea, vomiting, or breathing problems that could be linked to arsenic exposure. It's also useful if you work around pesticides, industrial chemicals, or contaminated water and want to check your exposure level. Many people order this after a known or suspected exposure event to see how much arsenic is in their system.

What's included in this test?

This test measures the total amount of arsenic collected in your urine over a full 24-hour period. A full-day collection gives a more accurate picture of your average exposure than a single urine sample, since arsenic levels can fluctuate throughout the day based on food and environmental contact.

What happens after I get my results?

Your results will show up in your account with the normal range clearly explained next to your arsenic level. If your level is elevated, next steps usually involve identifying and removing the exposure source, such as contaminated water, food, or workplace materials, and retesting after a few weeks to confirm the level is going down. A standard lab report is available to download from your account at any time. You can also use the trends feature to track your arsenic levels over time if you retest.

How can I naturally support my body's detox after arsenic exposure?

Drinking plenty of water helps your kidneys flush out arsenic more efficiently. Eating a diet rich in fiber, fruits, and vegetables supports your body's natural detox processes, and foods high in antioxidants like berries and leafy greens may help reduce oxidative stress caused by exposure. Avoiding known sources like certain seafood, unfiltered well water, and contaminated rice products can also lower your ongoing exposure while your levels normalize.

When will I get my results?

Results are typically ready within about 7 days after the lab receives your 24-hour urine collection. You'll get a notification when your report is ready to view in your account. If your results show a concerning level, consider seeking medical care promptly rather than waiting to retest.

Who should consider this test?

People who work in industries like mining, glass manufacturing, wood treatment, or pesticide application are good candidates for this test. It's also worth considering if you drink well water in an area known for natural arsenic contamination, or if you eat a lot of rice or seafood, which can contain higher arsenic levels. Anyone noticing unexplained skin changes, stomach issues, or nerve symptoms after a possible exposure should also consider testing.

What symptoms indicate I may need this test?

Watch for skin changes like unusual pigmentation, thickening, or sores, along with nausea, vomiting, or stomach pain that doesn't have another clear cause. Numbness or tingling in your hands and feet, unexplained fatigue, and respiratory irritation can also be signs worth checking out. If you've had a known exposure at work or home, testing even without symptoms can catch a problem early.

What does a high arsenic result mean?

A high result means more arsenic is present in your body than what's typically considered safe, which can point to an ongoing exposure source that needs to be identified and removed. Short-term high exposure often causes stomach upset, skin irritation, and fatigue, while repeated exposure over time raises more serious long-term health risks. It's important to pinpoint where the exposure is coming from, such as water, food, or workplace materials, and cut off contact with that source.

What causes high arsenic levels?

Common causes include drinking contaminated well water, working in industries that use arsenic-based chemicals like pesticides or wood preservatives, and eating certain foods like rice or seafood grown in arsenic-rich soil or water. Living near industrial sites or older homes with arsenic-treated wood can also contribute. Identifying the specific source in your daily environment is the key step toward lowering your levels.

How often should I retest?

If your first result is elevated, retesting after a few weeks once you've removed the suspected exposure source is a reasonable next step to confirm your levels are dropping. If you work in an environment with ongoing arsenic exposure risk, periodic retesting every few months can help you monitor your levels proactively. Once your levels return to a normal range, you likely won't need frequent retesting unless a new exposure occurs.
