About the test

Cobalt is a mineral that's part of our diet. It's mostly removed from our body through urine, with a small amount leaving through stool. While cobalt is necessary, too much can be harmful, especially in certain work environments. Since cobalt isn't mined in the U.S., it's usually brought in from other countries.

Who might consider it:

This test might be recommended for individuals who are exposed to cobalt in their workplace or those who have symptoms of cobalt toxicity.

Symptoms of Cobalt Toxicity:

Heart problems
Thyroid damage
Nerve problems
Skin rashes
Difficulty breathing
