NICKEL

The nickel test measures the level of nickel, a metal used in various industrial processes and products, in the blood, urine, or tissues. Elevated nickel levels can indicate nickel toxicity, which can cause symptoms such as dermatitis, respiratory issues, and gastrointestinal problems. This test is used to diagnose nickel toxicity, monitor occupational and environmental exposure, and guide interventions to reduce nickel intake and mitigate its harmful effects on health. The nickel test provides valuable information for managing overall health and preventing complications associated with nickel toxicity.
