This test is ideal if you're experiencing unexplained fatigue, blood sugar issues, or concerns about chromium exposure from supplements or your work environment. It helps identify whether your chromium levels are too high (from excessive supplementation or occupational exposure) or if environmental contamination may be affecting your health. Many people use this test to check if chromium toxicity could be behind persistent tiredness, metabolic problems, or other unexplained symptoms.
This test measures chromium levels in your urine, which is the most effective way to assess both chromium deficiency and toxicity. It also includes creatinine measurement to ensure accurate results by accounting for urine concentration. Together, these measurements help identify if occupational or environmental chromium exposure is causing health issues, or if excessive supplement use may be leading to toxicity.
You'll receive detailed doctor notes in simple language explaining what your chromium levels mean for your energy, metabolism, and overall health. These notes include personalized recommendations like dietary adjustments, supplement guidance, or whether you need to reduce environmental exposure. You'll also get the standard lab report and can track your chromium levels over time using our trends feature to see how interventions are working.
What this means
Your urine chromium levels are elevated, which may indicate excessive supplement intake or occupational exposure. While not immediately dangerous, elevated chromium can strain your kidneys over time and may contribute to fatigue or other symptoms you're experiencing.
Recommended actions
Stop or reduce chromium supplements if you're currently taking them
Use protective equipment if you have occupational chromium exposure
Drink plenty of water to help your kidneys flush out excess chromium
Retest in 3-6 months after reducing exposure to monitor improvement
