Understanding Zinc, Serum in Pune

What is Zinc, Serum in Pune?

A Zinc, Serum test helps to determine the levels of zinc in your body, an essential mineral that contributes significantly to various bodily functions, including immune system support, wound healing, and metabolism. This test helps identify deficiencies or excesses of the zinc ensuring the optimal presence of this element necessary for overall well-being. This test is widely available with Tata 1mg labs at an affordable price in Pune.

You may need a Zinc, Serum test if you are noticing symptoms related to low or high zinc levels or are currently taking zinc supplements. Low zinc levels can lead to immune system dysfunction, impaired growth and development, skin disorders, hair loss, diarrhea, and neurological problems. On the other hand, excessive zinc levels may result in toxicity, causing symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, and immune suppression. Fasting is not required for this test. You can eat and drink as per your normal routine.

What does Zinc, Serum measure?

A Zinc, Serum test helps determine the amount of zinc in your blood. About 20–30% of ingested zinc is absorbed in the small intestine and then transported into the blood. Zinc is present in various tissues throughout the body but is not stored in any particular location. The primary route of zinc excretion is through feces, with very small amounts of zinc being lost in urine, sweat, and other bodily secretions.

In situations where zinc requirements exceed intake, or poor absorption occurs, zinc deficiency may occur. This deficiency may impact various bodily functions since zinc is essential for numerous physiological processes.

It's noteworthy that early stages of zinc deficiency, especially in individuals with known risk factors, can be managed with primary care and a well-balanced diet.
