MANGANESE URINE

The MANGANESE URINE test is an at‑home urine assay that measures manganese excretion to assess recent manganese exposure or body burden. Samples are collected at home (spot or 24‑hour as instructed), sent to a certified lab where sensitive techniques such as ICP‑MS quantify urinary manganese, often with creatinine normalization to improve accuracy. This test is important for detecting occupational or environmental overexposure and for monitoring treatment or potential toxicity that can affect the nervous system and liver.

It is particularly useful for workers in industries with manganese dust or fumes (welding, mining, battery manufacturing), individuals with unexplained neurological symptoms, or anyone with suspected contamination from water or supplements. Results are delivered as a professional lab report across Dubai and the UAE, and should be interpreted by a physician alongside clinical findings and kidney function to guide further evaluation or management.

• Manganese (Urine)
• Urine Creatinine
• Manganese/Creatinine Ratio

• Occupational exposure (welders, miners, battery or alloy workers)
• New or worsening neurological symptoms (tremor, memory or coordination issues)
• After suspected environmental exposure (contaminated water, soil, or air)
• Monitoring response to chelation or detoxification therapy
• Unexplained liver dysfunction affecting metal excretion

• Non‑invasive at‑home urine collection
• High‑sensitivity laboratory analysis (ICP‑MS)
• Convenient sample pickup and reporting across Dubai & UAE
• Quantitative results with creatinine correction for accurate interpretation
• Supports occupational health screening and environmental exposure assessment

• Provide first‑morning midstream or 24‑hour urine as instructed by the lab
• Avoid manganese‑containing supplements and high‑manganese foods for 48–72 hours if advised
• Use the sterile container provided and label the sample clearly for pickup
• Inform the collection team about medications, recent exposures, pregnancy, or kidney disease
