Arsenic Blood

The Arsenic Blood test measures arsenic levels in venous blood—typically reporting total blood arsenic and, when requested, speciation to differentiate inorganic (toxic) and organic forms. Samples are analysed by UAE‑accredited laboratories using sensitive techniques (for example, ICP‑MS) to deliver fast and accurate results suitable for clinical or environmental follow‑up.

This home blood test is recommended for individuals with suspected acute or chronic exposure (occupational, environmental or from contaminated water/food), for monitoring response after exposure or chelation, and for screening in areas with known arsenic contamination. Results help clinicians decide on medical treatment, further investigations (such as urine speciation), and public health or remediation actions in Dubai and across the UAE.

• Total Blood Arsenic
• Inorganic Arsenic (As III & As V)
• Arsenic Speciation (organic vs. inorganic)
• Arsenobetaine (seafood-associated organic arsenic marker)

• Symptoms of acute arsenic poisoning (nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, neuropathy)
• Occupational exposure risk (mining, smelting, pesticide handling, electronics)
• Living or using water from areas with known groundwater contamination
• After known or suspected ingestion/accidental exposure
• Follow-up monitoring after treatment or environmental remediation

• Home sample collection by certified phlebotomists across Dubai and the UAE
• Analysis by UAE‑accredited laboratories using sensitive instrumentation for reliable quantification
• Speciation option to distinguish toxic inorganic arsenic from non‑toxic organic forms
• Fast turnaround with certified reports suitable for clinical or legal use in the UAE
• Clinical interpretation support and guidance for next steps if elevated levels are detected

• At‑home venous blood collection performed by a trained professional
• Avoid seafood and seaweed for 48–72 hours prior to sampling to reduce organic arsenic interference
• Inform the phlebotomist about all medications, supplements, occupational exposures and recent contrast procedures
• No prolonged fasting required; remain well hydrated before the test
