What is the lead level in a blood test?

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention defines lead poisoning as a blood lead level of 10 mg/dL.

How often should lead levels be tested?

According to OSHA (1995), the blood lead level of all employees who are exposed to inorganic lead above 30 ug/m(3) for more than 30 days per year is to be determined at least every 6 months. The frequency is increased to every 2 months for employees whose last blood lead level was between 40 ug/100 g whole blood. For employees who are removed from exposure to lead due to an elevated blood lead, a new blood lead level must be measured monthly.

How much lead should be removed from a lead-exposed person?

Kosnett et al (2007) summarized a body of published literature that establishes the potential for hypertension, effects on renal function, cognitive dysfunction, and adverse female reproductive outcome in adults with whole-blood lead concentrations less than 40 microg/dL. Based on this literature, and these researchers' collective experience in evaluating lead-exposed adults, they recommended that individuals be removed from occupational lead exposure if a single blood lead concentration exceeds 30 microg/dL or if 2 successive blood lead concentrations measured over a 4-week interval are greatet than or equal to 20 microg/dL. Removal of individuals from lead exposure should be considered to avoid long-term risk to health if exposure control measures over an extended period do not decrease blood lead concentrations to less than 10 microg/dL or if selected medical conditions exist that would increase the risk of continued exposure. Recommended medical surveillance for all lead-exposed workers should include quarterly blood lead measurements for individuals with blood lead concentrations between 10 and 19 microg/dL, and sem-iannual blood lead measurements when sustained blood lead concentrations are les than 10 microg/dL. It is advisable for pregnant women to avoid occupational or avocational lead exposure that would result in blood lead concentrations greater than 5 microg/dL. Chelation may have an adjunctive role in the medical management of highly exposed adults with symptomatic lead intoxication but is not recommended for asymptomatic individuals with low blood lead concentrations.

Why does Aetna consider lead in urine experimental and investigational?

What is lead working with?

Working with lead or living with someone who does—women who work in or who have family members who work in an industry that uses lead (e.g., lead production, battery manufacturing, paint manufacturing, ship building, ammunition production, or plastic manufacturing).

What happens if you get lead poisoning?

When lead-based paint peels and chips off of older walls, it can be inhaled and cause permanent damage to a young child's nervous system. Recurrent exposure to even small amounts of lead may result in lead poisoning since lead can accumulate in the body. Neurobehavioral abnormalities of mild lead poisoning may manifest as lowered IQ scores, decreased attention span, impaired hearing, speech and other developmental delays; however, most children of pre-school age with mild lead poisoning are asymptomatic. The probability of developing encephalopathy, the most serious complication of lead poisoning, increases as the exposure to lead and blood level of lead rises. Encephalopathy may be preceded by abdominal pain, headaches, vomiting, and constipation. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention defines lead poisoning as a blood lead level of 10 mg/dL. As sustained blood levels rise above 10 to 15 mg/dL, young children under age 6 years are at progressively increasing risk not only for future neurobehavioral and cognitive problems, but also for development of recurrent symptomatic episodes of physical manifestations of lead poisoning.

Does Aetna test for lead?

Aetna considers blood lead testing (measurement of blood lead level) medically necessary for diagnosis of persons with signs and symptoms of lead poisoning (e.g., lowered IQ scores, decreased attention span, impaired hearing, speech and other developmental delays, abdominal pain, headaches, vomiting, and constipation).
