Test ID CRUO Chromium Occupational Exposure, Random, Urine


Ordering Guidance


 



Specimen Required


Patient Preparation: High concentrations of gadolinium and iodine are known to potentially interfere with most inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry-based metal tests. If either gadolinium- or iodine-containing contrast media has been administered, a specimen should not be collected for 96 hours.

Supplies: Sarstedt Aliquot Tube, 5 mL (T914)

Collection Container/Tube: Clean, plastic urine collection container with no metal cap or glued insert

Submission Container/Tube: Plastic, 5-mL tube or a clean, plastic aliquot container with no metal cap or glued insert

Specimen Volume: 3 mL

Collection Instructions:

1. Collect a random urine specimen.

2. See Metals Analysis Specimen Collection and Transport for complete instructions.

Reference Values

CHROMIUM OCCUPATIONAL EXPOSURE

0-17 years: Not established

≥18 years: The American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH) Biological Exposure Index (BEI) for daily occupational exposure to hexavalent chromium in urine is an increase of 10.0 mcg/L between pre-shift and post-shift urine collections. The ACGIH BEI for long- and short-term hexavalent chromium in urine is an end-of-shift concentration above 24.9 mcg/L at the end of the work week.

 

CREATININE, RANDOM

≥18 years old: 16-326 mg/dL

Reference values have not been established for patients who are younger than 18 years of age.

Method Name
