What is LeadConfirm?
Leadconfirm is a laboratory based test that will provide you information
on whether a person has been exposed to lead – as measured in the
saliva sample you will send to the laboratory. The test is not definitive
in terms of measuring exactly how much lead is present and does not
tell you whether lead “poisoning” exists. The test is a “screening” test
and will inform whether someone has had recent exposure to lead.
If the result from this test confirms recent exposure, a visit to your
physician for a follow-up blood test is highly suggested.
Historically, lead exposure and/or toxicity have been measured by
testing blood and, to this day, blood analysis is best. However, because
of the cost of testing blood and all that is involved in getting a blood
test done (visit to your doctor, doctors order, visit to lab, etc), there is
value to a screening test. It is our pleasure to offer this service to you.
