Quick answer

The urine nickel test measures how much nickel is excreted in the urine over a collection period. Nickel is a metal used in alloys, plating, batteries, and many industrial processes, and exposure can occur through inhalation or skin contact in some workplaces. The test is most often used to monitor occupational exposure. A healthcare provider interprets the result with the work history and other information.

About this test in Cherryland

Nickel is a naturally occurring metal found in soil, water, and many manufactured products. In industry it is used in stainless steel, electroplating, batteries, and catalysts. Workers in metal refining, welding, plating, and battery production can be exposed to nickel dust or fumes. The body can absorb nickel through the lungs or skin and then clear some of it through the urine.

The test measures nickel concentration in a urine sample, and sometimes the result is reported relative to creatinine to account for how dilute the sample is. A single spot sample or a timed collection may be used, depending on the laboratory. Because nickel is common in the environment, collection procedures are designed to reduce contamination from metal surfaces and other sources.

Results are used to estimate recent exposure rather than to diagnose a disease. A single elevated value can reflect a recent exposure event, and repeat testing may be needed to see a pattern. Interpret levels of a metal like nickel alongside the work history and any other monitoring results. A qualified healthcare provider or occupational health professional explains what the result means.
