124 healthy adults by Mayo Clinic suggested a reference range of 6 to 190 mcg/L. The National Health
and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) study reported urine molybdenum ranged from 20 to 180
mcg/L. (Note: NHANES also reported excretion per gram of creatinine as 40-100 mcg/gm creatinine in
adults and 70-240 mcg/gm creatinine in children.) Prosthesis wear is known to result in increased
circulating concentration of metal ions.(5-7) No increase (6-190 mcg/L) in urine molybdenum
concentration is evident with a prosthetic device in good condition. Urine concentrations >200 mcg/L in a
patient with molybdenum-based implant suggest significant prosthesis wear. Increased urine trace element
concentrations in the absence of corroborating clinical information do not independently predict
prosthesis wear or failure. Urine molybdenum 11 years: 40-100 mcg/g creatinine
