| Usage: |
Increased urine lead excretion rate indicates significant lead exposure. Measurement of urine lead excretion rate before and after chelation therapy has been used as an indicator of lead exposure. An increase in lead excretion rate in the post-chelation specimen of up to 6 times the rate in the pre-chelation specimen is normal. Blood lead is the best clinical correlate of toxicity. |
