Heavy Metals Screen Occupational Exposure, Urine
Clinical Information: Arsenic (As), lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd), and mercury (Hg) are well-known
toxins and toxic exposures are characterized by increased urinary excretion of these metals. Arsenic
exists in a number of different forms; some are toxic while others are not. Toxic forms, which are
typically encountered as a result of an industrial exposure, are the inorganic species As (+3) (As-III) and
As (+5) (As-V) and the partially detoxified metabolites, monomethylarsine and dimethylarsine. The 2
most common nontoxic forms are arsenobetaine and arsenocholine. Arsenic toxicity affects a number of
organ systems. Lead toxicity primarily affects the gastrointestinal, neurologic, and hematopoietic
systems. Chronic exposure to cadmium causes accumulated renal damage. Mercury is essentially
nontoxic in its elemental form. However, once it is chemically modified to the ionized, inorganic
species, Hg(++), it becomes toxic. Further bioconversion to an alkyl mercury, such as methyl Hg
(CH[3]Hg[+]), yields a species of mercury that is highly selective for lipid-rich tissue, such as the
myelin sheath, and is very toxic.
Useful For: Screening potentially exposed workers for heavy metal toxicity in settings where a
24-hour collection is problematic
