SILVER

The silver test measures the level of silver, a heavy metal, in the blood, urine, or tissues. Elevated silver levels can indicate silver toxicity, which can cause symptoms such as argyria (a bluish-gray discoloration of the skin), neurological issues, and gastrointestinal problems. This test is used to diagnose silver toxicity, monitor occupational and environmental exposure, and guide interventions to reduce silver intake and mitigate its harmful effects on health. The silver test provides valuable information for managing overall health and preventing complications associated with silver exposure.
