Simple health checks in my control

I didn't know that private blood tests were an option. Tried this platform as the packages suited what I wanted for a good price. Easy to follow instructions, and super quick results. Platform provides more information than my gp's ever have on the tests and what the results meant. Would like more clinics to be able to test at (specifically Capital Pathology) but there is a decent network. Will continue to use.

"I'm a little biased as I work here! However, I love that The Bloody Good Test tracks my health over time. After turning 40, I wanted to make sure I wasn't going to drop dead from something basic I should have known about earlier. Measuring all my core biomarkers each year gives me peace of mind my health is on the right track"

Overview

Think of cadmium as an unwelcome houseguest that never leaves – this toxic heavy metal sneaks into your body through cigarette smoke, contaminated food and water, or workplace exposure, then settles in for decades. Unlike helpful minerals your body needs, cadmium serves no purpose and acts more like a slow-acting poison, gradually building up in your kidneys and bones while potentially increasing your cancer risk. The Cadmium test works like a security system that detects how much of this harmful metal has accumulated in your bloodstream over time.

This test is especially valuable if you're a current or former smoker, work in industries that use metals or batteries, or live near industrial areas where cadmium pollution might be present. Getting tested can help uncover hidden exposure sources and catch potential problems before they become serious health issues like kidney disease or bone disorders. Think of it as your early warning system – by measuring your cadmium levels, you and your healthcare provider can take steps to reduce further exposure and protect your long-term health from this persistent environmental threat.

Symptoms

Essential for smokers, industrial workers, kidney/bone disease patients, or anyone needing comprehensive heavy metal exposure and organ health assessment.

Questions

  • Cadmium is a toxic heavy metal that accumulates in the body over decades, causing kidney disease, bone disorders, and increased cancer risk.
  • Primary sources include cigarette smoking, occupational exposure in certain industries, contaminated food and water, and environmental pollution from industrial activities.
  • Cadmium can cause kidney disease, bone disorders (osteoporosis), lung cancer, and other health problems, particularly with long-term exposure.
  • Smoking is the largest source of cadmium exposure for most people, with smokers having 2-3 times higher cadmium levels than non-smokers.
  • Cadmium has a very long half-life in the body (10-30 years), so prevention of exposure is more important than treatment once accumulated.
  • Smokers, industrial workers, people with kidney or bone disease, and those living near cadmium pollution sources should consider testing.

How to prepare

No special preparation required. Inform healthcare provider of smoking history, occupational exposure, and any factors that might affect cadmium levels or interpretation.

After the test

Address cadmium toxicity through exposure source elimination, smoking cessation, kidney and bone health monitoring, and supportive care. Work with toxicologists and occupational health specialists.

Your test results will be available in your private dashboard. If there are any urgent issues, we'll let you know so you can follow up with your health professional.

Understanding results

Results show cadmium levels compared to safe reference ranges. Elevated levels indicate toxic exposure requiring evaluation of exposure sources and assessment of kidney and bone health risks.

If your test needs fasting, we’ll include that in your instructions after you order. Fasting usually means no food for 8–12 hours, but water is fine.

Just your pathology referral form (we email it to you)
