What this test is
The test measures aluminium excreted in urine. Higher values indicate greater uptake and, in some situations, track the effect of reducing exposure better than blood testing.

Frequently asked questions about this test
Why collect at the end of a shift?
A full working day of exposure shows more clearly, so end-of-shift samples reflect the amount excreted after that day's contact.
Should blood testing be done as well?
Doctors often review both blood and urine to see uptake and excretion together. Our staff will advise the best combination for your purpose.
How should I prepare for Aluminium in Urine?
Avoid aluminium-containing supplements for at least 24 hours and clean the area before collection to reduce contamination.
How long do results take?
About 15 days, depending on the laboratory workload that day. Our staff will confirm the collection time when you are served.
Where can I have this test done?
Samples are collected and results issued at S.F. Laboratory, the in-house laboratory of BK5 Med Health Clinic in Don Hua Lo, Chon Buri. No appointment is needed; walk in during opening hours.
