CADMIUM Test at Home in Dubai
Also known as: CD

About the Test
Cadmium is a toxic heavy metal found in cigarette smoke, some industrial settings and contaminated food. This blood test measures cadmium to assess exposure, which is relevant for smokers and people working with batteries, metals, pigments or certain manufacturing processes. Ongoing exposure can affect the kidneys, bones and lungs over time, so the test is used to check for and follow occupational or environmental exposure rather than as part of a routine health check.
What is it? A blood test measuring cadmium, sometimes abbreviated Cd, a toxic heavy metal used to assess recent or ongoing exposure.

CADMIUM test: purpose, preparation and results
Why take the CADMIUM test?
- Assess exposure in people working with batteries, metal plating, pigments, plastics or similar industries
- Investigate possible heavy-metal exposure in smokers or those with relevant environmental risk
- Support evaluation of unexplained kidney or bone concerns where cadmium exposure is suspected
How to prepare for the CADMIUM test
No fasting is required for the cadmium test. A special metal-free collection tube is used to avoid contamination; our nurse manages this and completes the home draw in around 20 minutes. Let us know about your occupation and smoking history, as these help interpretation.
Understanding your CADMIUM results
A higher cadmium level generally reflects greater recent or ongoing exposure, commonly linked to smoking or occupational sources, and may prompt a doctor to advise reducing exposure and checking kidney function. Interpretation depends on your history, and doctor-reviewed reports are ready in 7 Days.

Reports are ready within 7 Days, as cadmium is analysed by specialised methods at our ISO-certified partner lab. A doctor reviews the result before we send it to you on WhatsApp and email.
No fasting is needed. However, the sample must be taken into a special metal-free tube to prevent contamination, which our nurse handles. Sharing your work and smoking history helps your doctor interpret the result.
Cigarette smoke is a major source, along with certain industries such as battery manufacturing, metal plating, welding and pigment production. Some foods grown in contaminated soil can also contribute over time.
A raised level usually indicates significant recent or ongoing exposure. Your doctor may advise steps to reduce the source and may check kidney function, since the kidneys are particularly affected by cadmium over the long term.
It is most relevant for people with occupational exposure, heavy smokers, or anyone advised by their doctor to check heavy-metal levels. It is not part of a routine wellness panel for the general population.
