Your urinary arsenic is in the normal range, consistent with typical background dietary and environmental exposure. This level is not associated with increased cancer risk or other arsenic-related health effects.
No measurable arsenic was detected in your urine. Arsenic is a toxic metalloid found in contaminated water, certain foods, and some occupational environments. Complete absence is the optimal outcome.
No action needed. Continue using filtered water and maintaining a varied diet.
Urine arsenic undetectable — no significant arsenic exposureYour urinary arsenic is within the acceptable reference range. Small background levels are common from dietary sources such as rice and seafood. This level is not associated with adverse health effects.
No action needed. If you consume large amounts of rice or seafood, occasional monitoring is reasonable.
Urine arsenic within reference range — no evidence of clinically significant exposureA small amount of arsenic is detectable, likely from routine dietary sources such as rice, fish, and certain vegetables. This is within the expected range and not a health concern.
No action needed. Diversifying your diet and using filtered drinking water minimizes background arsenic exposure.
Urine arsenic: low-normal range — consistent with dietary exposureYour urinary arsenic is in the normal range, consistent with typical background dietary and environmental exposure. This level is not associated with increased cancer risk or other arsenic-related health effects.
No specific action required. Standard dietary precautions are sufficient.
Urine arsenic within acceptable reference rangeYour arsenic level is in the optimal range, reflecting very low dietary and environmental exposure. This is an excellent result.
No action needed. Maintain current dietary and environmental habits.
Urine arsenic: optimal — minimal arsenic burdenYour urinary arsenic is elevated above the reference range. Common causes include contaminated drinking water, high rice consumption, seafood (especially shellfish), and certain occupational exposures. Chronic exposure at this level modestly increases cancer risk.
Test your drinking water for arsenic. Reduce rice consumption and diversify grains. If you work in agriculture or semiconductor manufacturing, review occupational exposures. Retest in 3 months.
Urine arsenic 50–200 mcg/L — borderline elevated; above reference rangeYour urinary arsenic is significantly elevated, confirming meaningful ongoing arsenic exposure. Chronic arsenic exposure at this level is associated with increased risk of bladder, lung, and skin cancers, as well as peripheral neuropathy, skin changes, and cardiovascular disease.
Identify and eliminate the exposure source immediately — test drinking water, review diet, and consider occupational assessment. Seek medical evaluation for symptoms. Your doctor may recommend a drug that pulls metals out of the body evaluation.
Urine arsenic >200 mcg/L — elevated; significant arsenic exposure confirmedYour urinary arsenic is critically elevated, consistent with acute arsenic poisoning or noticeable chronic exposure. Symptoms include noticeable gastrointestinal distress, peripheral neuropathy, skin changes (Mees' lines, hyperkeratosis), and multi-organ damage. This level can be life-threatening.
Seek emergency medical care immediately. The source of exposure must be identified and eliminated at once. A drug that pulls metals out of the body with DMSA is typically required for acute poisoning.
