What Is Mercury Poisoning?
9. Diagnosing
Diagnosing mercury poisoning well tend to involve a physical exam and questions about the patient’s medical history. They will also likely be asked about their eating habits, particularly whether they eat a lot of sea food. The patient will also be asked questions about their symptoms and how long they have had them.
In order to get a confirmed diagnosis, the doctor will likely request blood and urine samples. These can then be sent to a laboratory to where they can be examined for mercury levels. If levels of mercury are higher than they should be then the professionals can be confident what the problems is.
