Some trace elements can be toxic and interfere with enzymatic reactions necessary for cellular processes.
It is therefore important to assess potential exposure to toxic elements.
The toxic trace element profile includes the following elements
- Aluminium (Al)
- Cadmium (Cd)
- Nickel (Ni)
- Lead (Pb)
Serum: Al, Ni
Whole blood: Cd, Pb
