MOLYBDENUM

The molybdenum test measures the level of molybdenum, an essential trace element, in the blood or urine. Molybdenum is involved in various physiological processes, including enzyme function and metabolism. Elevated molybdenum levels can indicate molybdenum toxicity, which can cause symptoms such as joint pain, fatigue, and gastrointestinal issues. This test is used to diagnose molybdenum toxicity, monitor occupational and environmental exposure, and guide interventions to reduce molybdenum intake and mitigate its harmful effects on health. The molybdenum test provides valuable information for managing overall health and preventing complications associated with molybdenum toxicity.
