About the Test
Zinc is an essential trace mineral needed for immune function, wound healing, taste and smell, and normal growth. This blood test measures zinc levels to check nutritional status. Low levels can follow poor intake, malabsorption or high losses and may show as frequent infections, slow healing or hair loss. It is used both as a nutritional check and to investigate symptoms that suggest deficiency.
What is it? A blood test measuring the trace mineral zinc, also written as Zn, to assess nutritional and mineral status.

How to prepare for the Zinc test
No fasting is usually required, though your doctor may prefer a morning sample. Tell the nurse about any zinc or multivitamin supplements, as recent doses can raise the result. Avoid touching the puncture site to reduce contamination.
Understanding your Zinc results
Low zinc may reflect poor intake, malabsorption or increased losses and can affect immunity and healing, while high levels are usually linked to supplements. A doctor should interpret the result with your diet and symptoms. Your report is reviewed and delivered within 8 Hours.
