What is the name&type of blood test i need to confirm or rule out mercury poisoning?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Serum mercury level: Serum or blood mercury level. Everyone has a small amount of mercury in her body, because mercury is a naturally occurring substance. Exposure to methylmercury (a form of mercury) most often comes from eating fish that contains methylmercury. Usually, greater amounts of methylmercury are found in larger predatory fish.
