From 1 October 2026 the Silver (Urine) can be arranged at Wimpole Street Medical & Dental for £124. A random urine sample is taken by a nurse or phlebotomist and sent to a UKAS-accredited partner laboratory, which quotes 5 days for this heavy metals and toxicology test. The laboratory report shows each value for heavy metal toxicity and kidney function against its reference range and is released to your portal; we do not interpret results, so take it to your GP or a clinician.

Who considers Silver (Urine)
- People often consider metal testing if they work in construction, battery manufacture, painting or metal recycling, or renovate older properties.
- Those who eat large amounts of tuna, swordfish or other predatory fish sometimes check mercury.
- Unexplained abdominal pain, tingling in the hands and feet or cognitive changes occasionally prompt a heavy metal screen.
- Alcohol markers are frequently needed for driving licence medicals, family court proceedings or personal monitoring of a period of abstinence.
- Employers and individuals may request drug screens for workplace or legal reasons.
What Silver (Urine) measures
Laboratories file the Silver (Urine) under heavy metal toxicity, kidney function and urine test. The following sections set out how a heavy metals and toxicology test of this kind is measured and read.
Toxicology tests measure metals and chemicals that can accumulate in the body — lead, mercury, arsenic, cadmium, aluminium, thallium and others — in blood or urine, depending on which reflects recent exposure and which reflects body burden. Solvent metabolites such as toluene and xylene breakdown products in urine assess occupational exposure, while alcohol markers (PEth, CDT, urine EtG) and drug screens for cannabinoids, cocaine, opiates and others detect use over different windows. Porphyrin tests and carboxyhaemoglobin address particular poisoning and metabolic questions.
Preparing for your Silver (Urine)
- 1Avoid seafood for 48 to 72 hours before mercury or arsenic testing, as a single meal can produce a spurious high.
- 2For urine metals, a random sample is usually acceptable but an early morning sample reduces dilution effects; follow any instruction about collection containers.
- 3Tell the nurse about supplements, herbal remedies and Ayurvedic or traditional medicines, some of which contain metals.
- 4For legal or workplace screening, ask about chain-of-custody arrangements before booking, as standard clinical tests may not meet evidential requirements.
Sample for this test: random urine sample.
Understanding your Silver (Urine) results
A metal concentration above the reference range can indicate exposure beyond typical background levels and, at higher values, a risk of toxicity that requires occupational health or clinical review. Because many metals are cleared quickly from blood, urine levels or a repeat after removing the suspected source help to distinguish a one-off exposure from ongoing accumulation. Alcohol markers are interpreted by window: EtG reflects the previous few days, PEth roughly two to four weeks and CDT longer-term heavy intake.
Toxicology results depend heavily on the timing of exposure and the sample type, and reference ranges describe population background rather than a threshold of harm for every individual.
