Result Turnaround Time
2 - 4 days
Turnaround time is defined as the usual number of days from the date of pickup of a specimen for testing to when the result is released to the ordering provider. In some cases, additional time should be allowed for additional confirmatory or additional reflex tests. Testing schedules may vary.
Test Includes
Cadmium, blood; cadmium, urine; creatinine, urine; cadmium:creatinine ratio; β2-microglobulin, urine; β2-microglobulin:creatinine ratio
Use
See individual tests.
Custom Additional Information

Specimen Requirements
Specimen
Whole blood and urine (random)
Volume
2 mL blood and 5 mL urine
Minimum Volume
0.6 mL blood and 2.4 mL urine
Container
Royal blue-top (EDTA) tube and plastic urine container
Collection Instructions
As β2-microglobulin can degrade under acidic conditions in the bladder, workers should empty their bladder and then drink a large glass of water at the start of the visit. Urine should then be collected within one hour. The pH of the urine should be measured and adjusted to 6-8, if necessary, using 0.1 N NaOH.
Storage Instructions
Maintain specimen at room temperature. Refrigerated storage is recommended if the specimen is not submitted to the laboratory for testing within two days of collection.
Causes for Rejection
