Description

selenium blood test measures the amount of selenium in the blood to check for deficiency or toxicity. The test is recommended for individuals with symptoms like fatigue, hair loss, or thyroid problems, and for those with gastrointestinal disorders, chronic kidney disease, or who are taking selenium supplements. No special preparation is usually needed, though you should avoid certain contrast media for 96 hours if advised by your doctor. Purpose of the test Diagnose deficiency or toxicity: To identify and confirm conditions related to low or high selenium levels. Monitor treatment: To track the effectiveness of selenium replacement therapy. Check for related conditions: To investigate symptoms associated with potential selenium imbalance, such as thyroid issues, heart problems (e.g., cardiomyopathy), or wasting syndrome. Preparation and procedure Preparation: Typically, no fasting is required. However, you should not collect a sample for 96 hours if you have received contrast media containing gadolinium or iodine, unless otherwise instructed by your doctor. Sample collection: A phlebotomist will draw a small amount of blood from your arm. The sample is then sent to a specialized lab for analysis. What to expect Results: Turnaround time can vary, often taking 3-5 days or longer, depending on the lab. Normal range: A typical normal range for adults is about 70 to 150 ng/ml, but this can vary based on age, so always compare your result to the reference range provided by the lab. Interpreting results: A doctor will interpret the results based on your age, health history, and any symptoms you may have. If a deficiency is found, your doctor may prescribe supplements. If toxicity is suspected, they will advise you on how to reduce your intake.
