TOXDetect Profile
Selected Environmental Chemical Markers in Urine
What is This Test?
TOXDetect measures selected chemicals and metabolites in urine using LC-MS/MS. You can review these measurements with your clinician in the context of collection timing and possible exposures. Detection does not establish poisoning, a symptom's cause, the source of exposure, total body burden, or a need for detoxification treatment. This is not a comprehensive screen for all chemicals or heavy metals.
Confirm the exact panel, eligibility, preparation, and timing in your Fullscript order and current lab instructions. Kit instructions take priority over this general summary. Do not stop prescribed medicines without your clinician's guidance. Laboratory certification does not establish that every proposed clinical use is validated.

What Should You Discuss Before Testing?
Exposure Questions
Discuss your exposure history and whether targeted testing would be more useful.
Interpretation Limits
A laboratory reference comparison is not a diagnosis of toxicity or proof of a symptom's cause.
Understanding Your Results
Your results quantify your exposure levels compared to reference ranges and general population data.
