What it measures
- Blood lead level — The main measurement, reported in micrograms per deciliter (µg/dL).
- Hemoglobin — Sometimes checked because lead can lower this oxygen-carrying protein.
- Hematocrit — The proportion of red blood cells in your blood, which lead can reduce.
- Zinc protoporphyrin — A marker that can rise when lead interferes with red blood cell production.
Preparation
No fasting is required. Tell your doctor about any lead-related work or hobbies and any supplements you take.
Results and what they mean
Results are reported as a number in µg/dL, and your doctor compares it to a reference range. A high level does not confirm poisoning on its own; a clinician interprets the result with your symptoms and history. This is general information, not medical advice.
