CADMIUM

LAB3142

Collect

Royal blue (K2EDTA or Na2EDTA).

Patient Preparation

Diet, medication, and nutritional supplements may introduce interfering substances. Patients should be encouraged to discontinue nutritional supplements, vitamins, minerals, non-essential over-the-counter medications (upon the advice of their physician).

Specimen Preparation

Transport 7 mL whole blood in the original collection tube. (Min: 0.5 mL)

Unacceptable Conditions

Heparin anticoagulant. Frozen specimens.

Storage/Transport Temperature

Room temperature. Also acceptable: Refrigerated.

Stability (from collection to initiation)

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

Remarks

Trace Elements requisition form may be required (ARUP form #32990).

Notes

Elevated results from noncertified trace element-free collection tubes may be due to contamination.  Elevated concentrations of trace elements in blood should be confirmed with a second specimen collected in a tube designed for trace element determinations, such as a royal blue Na2EDTA tube.

Performed

Sun-Sat

Methodology

Quantitative Inductively Coupled Plasma-Mass Spectrometry

Reported

1-3 days

Synonyms

  • Cd, Blood
  • LAB3142
  • CADMIUM B

Ordering Recommendations

Useful in the assessment of acute toxicity. For chronic exposure and the assessment of cadmium body burden, Cadmium, Urine (0025040) is preferred.

Reference Interval

0.0-5.0 µg/L

Interpretive Data

Blood cadmium levels can be used to monitor acute toxicity and in combination with cadmium urine and B-2 microglobulin is the preferred method for monitoring occupational exposure. Symptoms associated with cadmium toxicity vary based upon route of exposure and may include tubular proteinuria, fever, headache, dyspnea, chest pain, conjunctivitis, rhinitis, sore throat and cough. Ingestion of cadmium in high concentration may cause vomiting, diarrhea, salivation, cramps, and abdominal pain.

CADMIUM, URINE

LAB370

Collect

24-hour or random urine collection. Specimen must be collected in a plastic container. ARUP studies indicate that refrigeration of urine alone, during and after collection, preserves specimens adequately, if tested within 14 days of collection.

Patient Preparation

Diet, medication, and nutritional supplements may introduce interfering substances. Patients should be encouraged to discontinue nutritional supplements, vitamins, minerals, and non-essential over-the-counter medications (upon the advice of their physician). High concentrations of iodine may interfere with elemental testing. Abstinence from iodine-containing medications or contrast agents for at least 1 month prior to collecting specimens for elemental testing is recommended.

Specimen Preparation

Transfer an 8 mL aliquot from a well-mixed collection to ARUP Trace Element-Free Transport Tubes (ARUP supply #43116). Available online through eSupply using ARUP Connect™ or contact ARUP Client Services at (800) 522-2787. (Min: 1 mL)

Unacceptable Conditions

Urine collected within 48 hours after administration of a gadolinium (Gd) containing contrast media (may occur with MRI studies). Acid preserved urine. Specimen contaminated with blood or fecal material. Specimens transported in non-trace element free transport tube (with the exception of the original device).

Storage/Transport Temperature

Refrigerated. Also acceptable: Room temperature or frozen.

Stability (from collection to initiation)

Ambient: 1 week; Refrigerated: 2 weeks; Frozen: 1 year

Interpretive Data

Urine cadmium levels can be used to assess cadmium body burden. In chronic exposures, the kidneys are the primary target organ. Symptoms associated with cadmium toxicity vary based upon route of exposure and may include tubular proteinuria, fever, headache, dyspnea, chest pain, conjunctivitis, rhinitis, sore throat and cough.

Reference Interval

Male 3 years and older: 0.0-7.5 pg/mL
Female 3 years and older: 0.0-5.1 pg/mL

Interpretive Data

Calcitonin levels greater than 100 pg/mL may occur in the following conditions: medullary thyroid carcinomas (MTC), leukemias, and myeloproliferative disorders.

Provocative testing (calcium) is suggested in patients with MTC if the calcitonin is not clearly diagnostic.

The Siemens Immulite® 2000 method is used.  Results obtained with different assay methods or kits cannot be used interchangeably.  Calcitonin is useful in monitoring medullary thyroid carcinoma.  The calcitonin assay value, regardless of level, should not be interpreted as absolute evidence of the presence or absence of malignant disease.
