&lt;h2&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #ff99cc;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;OVERVIEW&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 14px; color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;This test is a diagnostic procedure that analyzes a blood sample to detect the presence and concentration of heavy metals in the body. It typically incorporates demographic information about the individual, including age, sex, and medical history, alongside the blood sample itself. Commonly screened heavy metals include lead, mercury, arsenic, and cadmium, which can accumulate in the body over time and potentially lead to various health issues if found in elevated levels. By identifying heavy metal exposure, the test aids healthcare providers in determining appropriate treatment or intervention strategies as needed.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
