Nickel Blood Test

$55.00 AUD

Experiencing skin allergies, have occupational nickel exposure, or suffering from contact dermatitis and want assessment of nickel sensitivity for allergy management?

Work with metals or have a nickel allergy? Nickel is a trace element found in the environment, but too much can cause allergic reactions or health issues. This test may help check for workplace exposure, overexposure from jewellery or food, or explore whether nickel sensitivity is linked to your symptoms.

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 nickel as one of those sneaky troublemakers that's everywhere in our daily lives – hiding in jewelry, belt buckles, coins, and even some foods – but for some people, it acts like an unwelcome guest that triggers their body's alarm system. The Nickel test works like a detective, measuring the amount of this metal circulating in your blood to reveal how much you've been exposed to recently, whether through that new necklace you've been wearing, your work environment, or other sources you might not have considered.

This test becomes especially valuable when you're dealing with mysterious skin rashes, persistent itching, or even respiratory issues that seem to come out of nowhere, as it can help pinpoint whether nickel sensitivity is the culprit behind your discomfort. By identifying your nickel exposure levels, you and your healthcare provider can work together to track down the sources causing problems and develop a practical plan to avoid them, whether that means switching to nickel-free jewelry, implementing workplace safety measures, or making other lifestyle adjustments that help you feel better and prevent future reactions.

Symptoms

Essential for individuals with contact dermatitis, occupational nickel exposure, suspected allergies, or anyone needing comprehensive nickel sensitivity assessment.

Questions

  • Nickel is a common metal that can trigger allergic contact dermatitis in sensitive individuals, causing skin reactions upon contact.
  • Sources include jewelry, belt buckles, coins, medical devices, occupational exposure in metalworking, and certain foods like nuts and chocolate.
  • Symptoms typically include contact dermatitis with redness, itching, swelling, and sometimes blistering at the site of nickel contact.
  • Diagnosis typically involves patch testing combined with blood nickel levels and clinical evaluation of symptoms and exposure history.
  • Avoidance strategies include choosing nickel-free jewelry, using protective barriers, following occupational safety measures, and dietary modifications if needed.
  • While the allergy can't be cured, symptoms can be managed through avoidance, topical treatments, and in some cases, systemic medications.

How to prepare

No special preparation required. Inform healthcare provider of recent jewelry wear, occupational exposure, and any factors that might affect nickel levels or interpretation.

After the test

Address elevated nickel through exposure source identification and avoidance, occupational safety measures, allergy management, and symptom treatment. Work with allergists 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 nickel levels compared to normal ranges. Elevated levels may indicate significant exposure requiring source identification and appropriate avoidance or treatment strategies.
