Lead (Blood Test / Adult)

A lead, blood test for adults is a medical test that measures the amount of lead in a person's blood. Lead is a toxic metal that can accumulate in the body through exposure to sources such as contaminated water, soil, or paint. High levels of lead in the blood can lead to serious health problems, including damage to the nervous system, kidneys, and reproductive organs. The test is typically performed by taking a small sample of blood from a vein in the arm and sending it to a laboratory for analysis. It is often recommended for individuals who may have been exposed to lead in their environment or occupation.
