Protect Your Health from Silent Lead Exposure
Are you concerned about invisible health threats in your environment? Lead exposure can happen without warning – through contaminated water, old paint, or workplace hazards. Many South Africans live with elevated lead levels without knowing it, putting their nervous system, kidneys, and overall health at risk. Our Lead Blood Test gives you the clarity and peace of mind you deserve.
Understanding Your Lead Blood Test
This simple blood test measures the amount of lead circulating in your bloodstream. Using advanced Atomic Absorption Spectrometry (AAS) with Zeeman correction – the gold standard in heavy metal testing – we provide exceptionally accurate results you can trust. The test requires just 4mL of blood collected in special metal-free tubes to prevent contamination.
We understand medical tests can feel intimidating, which is why our process is designed for your comfort and confidence. Your sample is handled with the utmost care by trained professionals using powderless gloves to ensure accuracy.
Who Should Consider This Test?
If you experience any of these symptoms or risk factors, this test could be crucial for your health:
- Unexplained fatigue or persistent tiredness
- Memory problems or difficulty concentrating
- Headaches, abdominal pain, or joint discomfort
- Living in older homes with potential lead-based paint
- Working in construction, mining, or manufacturing industries
- Using traditional remedies or cosmetics from uncertain sources
- Children with developmental concerns or behavioural changes
- Pregnant women concerned about fetal development
Many South Africans are exposed to lead through environmental factors without realizing the cumulative health effects.
