About Mercury, Blood (Test)
The Mercury, Blood test by Quest Diagnostics measures total mercury levels in whole blood, providing a quantitative assessment of recent or ongoing mercury exposure. Blood mercury is the preferred specimen for evaluating methylmercury accumulation — the form most commonly associated with fish consumption — as well as short-term elemental or inorganic mercury exposure. This test is appropriate for individuals concerned about dietary exposure, occupational contact, or those undergoing monitoring as part of a functional or integrative health evaluation.
Why It's Worth Considering: Quest Diagnostics uses standardized, CLIA-certified laboratory methodology, making results suitable for review by both conventional and integrative practitioners interpreting heavy metal exposure patterns.
