STRONTIUM

The strontium test measures the level of strontium, a trace element, in the blood, urine, or tissues. Strontium is used in various industrial processes and can affect bone health. Elevated strontium levels can indicate excessive exposure, which may lead to symptoms such as bone pain, gastrointestinal issues, and cardiovascular problems. This test is used to diagnose strontium toxicity, monitor occupational and environmental exposure, and guide interventions to reduce strontium intake and mitigate its harmful effects on health. The strontium test provides valuable information for managing overall health and preventing complications associated with strontium exposure.
