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.

Calcium Blood Test

Overview

Think of mercury as an unwelcome intruder in your body's control center – your nervous system. This toxic heavy metal can sneak in through everyday sources like certain fish (tuna, swordfish), dental fillings, or workplace exposure, and once inside, it acts like a saboteur, potentially disrupting everything from your memory and coordination to your mood and development. A mercury test works like a security check, measuring the levels of this toxic metal in your blood to reveal how much recent exposure you've had and whether it's reached concerning levels that could be affecting your neurological health.

This test is particularly valuable if you're a seafood lover, pregnant, work around industrial materials, or have been experiencing unexplained symptoms like memory problems, tremors, or mood changes that could signal mercury toxicity. The results help you and your healthcare provider make informed decisions about your diet, lifestyle, and treatment options – whether that means adjusting your fish consumption, addressing occupational hazards, or pursuing detoxification if levels are dangerously high. Since mercury is especially harmful to developing brains, this test becomes crucial for protecting both current neurological function and future cognitive health.

Symptoms

Essential for high fish consumers, pregnant women, neurological symptoms, or anyone needing comprehensive mercury exposure and neurological risk assessment.

Questions

  • Mercury is a toxic heavy metal that damages the nervous system, particularly dangerous for developing brains in fetuses and children.
  • Primary sources include fish and seafood consumption, dental amalgam fillings, occupational exposure, and environmental contamination from industrial activities.
  • Symptoms may include neurological problems, cognitive changes, tremors, memory issues, mood changes, and developmental delays in children.
  • Large predatory fish like shark, swordfish, king mackerel, and tilefish have the highest mercury levels and should be limited or avoided.
  • Treatment may include chelation therapy, elimination of exposure sources, supportive care, and dietary modifications to reduce mercury intake.
  • Yes, mercury can be eliminated through chelation therapy and natural detoxification, but prevention of exposure is the most important strategy.

How to prepare

No special preparation required. Inform healthcare provider of recent fish consumption, dental work, occupational exposure, and any factors that might affect mercury levels.

After the test

Address mercury toxicity through exposure source identification and reduction, dietary modifications, chelation therapy if indicated, and neurological monitoring. Work with toxicologists as needed.

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 mercury levels compared to safe reference ranges. Elevated levels require evaluation of exposure sources and may necessitate dietary changes or medical intervention.

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)
