0020572: Heavy Metals Panel 4, Urine with Reflex to Arsenic Fractionated

Test Mnemonic: HY MET U4
Methodology: Inductively Coupled Plasma/Mass Spectrometry

Performed: Mon-Sat

Reported: 1-4 days

Specimen Required:  
Collect: 24-hour or random urine collection. Specimen must be collected in a plastic container and should be refrigerated during collection. ARUP studies indicate that refrigeration of urine alone, during and after collection, preserves specimens as well as the preservatives mentioned, if tested within 8 days of collection.

Transport: 10 mL aliquot from a well-mixed collection at 2-8°C (Min: 5 mL). Submit specimen in two ARUP Trace Element-Free Transport Tubes (ARUP supply #43116).

Pediatric Collection/Transport: 5 mL aliquot from a well-mixed collection at 2-8°C. Submit specimen in an ARUP Trace Element-Free Transport Tube (ARUP supply #43116).

Remarks: Record total volume and collection time interval on transport tube and on test request form.

Unacceptable Conditions: Urine collected within 48 hours after administration of a gadolinium (Gd.) containing contrast media (may occur with MRI studies). Acid preserved urine.

Stability: If the specimen is collected and stored in the appropriate container, the trace element values do not change with time.
