Chromium near me in Kanpur

A chromium test is a blood test that determines chromium toxicity or deficiency in your blood. It is a vital mineral that affects the fat, carbohydrates, protein, and insulin levels in the human body. The normal serum chromium level should be less than or equivalent to 1.4 microgram/litre. An escalated chromium level can cause digestion, skin issues, and damage to your kidneys, liver, nerves. People associated with steel manufacturing and leather tanning industries are prone to this. Chromium deficiency can also lead to health problems such as diabetes, impaired glucose metabolism, impaired coordination, confusion, etc.

Blood is drawn from your arm and sent for analysis of chromium levels. A few days before the test, your doctor might ask you to stop the intake of multivitamins and mineral supplements.
