Scientific name: Cadmium Blood Test
A cadmium in blood test is a quantitative measurement of the level of elemental cadmium in whole blood. This measurement primarily reflects recent or ongoing exposure to cadmium (within the past few months), as its half-life in the blood is relatively short (approximately 3 months). Cadmium is a toxic heavy metal with no biological function.
