Brief Answer:
Yes, these tests are effective!

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about the heavy metal intoxication that you are being treated for. Heavy metals are excreted from the body in most cases through urine. This is why measuring ts concentration in urine is a good way to tell us to what extend this heavy metal is in the body. They are very good and it is also a good way to monitor the response to treatment as the levels in urine directly reflect the blood levels and the severity of the intoxication in the body.

If you could provide more details about the exact heavy metal intoxication, I would be able to provide more specifics about that.

I hope this addresses your query fully. I wish you well. Thanks for using our services and feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
