Selenium (Urine)

The Selenium (Urine) test measures the concentration of selenium excreted in urine to assess body selenium status and potential exposure. Delivered as a convenient at‑home urine collection service with professional sample collection and laboratory analysis, results are reported with creatinine‑correction when applicable for improved accuracy. This test is useful for monitoring deficiency or excess, guiding supplementation or dietary adjustments, and assessing occupational or environmental exposure across Dubai and the UAE.

• Assessment after potential occupational or environmental selenium exposure
• Evaluation in certain thyroid or cardiac conditions where selenium status is relevant
• Baseline screening for high-risk diets (e.g., low‑variety or restrictive diets)

• Professional at‑home urine sample collection across Dubai and the UAE
• Accurate laboratory quantification with creatinine normalization for reliability
• Fast turnaround and clear results to guide clinical or nutritional decisions
• Useful for both deficiency monitoring and exposure assessment
• Convenient scheduling and certified laboratory reporting compliant with UAE standards

• Provide a mid‑stream first‑morning urine sample (or 24‑hour collection if instructed)
