Your blood mercury level is in the normal range, consistent with typical dietary exposure from fish. This level is not associated with adverse health effects in adults.
No measurable mercury was found in your blood. Mercury is a toxic metal that bioaccumulates, particularly through fish consumption. An undetectable level is the best possible outcome.
No action needed. You may continue consuming moderate amounts of low-mercury fish as part of a healthy diet.
Blood mercury undetectable — no significant mercury exposureYour blood mercury level is within the safe reference range. Small amounts of mercury are detectable in most people due to dietary fish intake, but this level poses no health concern.
No action needed. Standard dietary guidance applies — vary your fish intake and limit high-mercury species like swordfish and shark.
Blood mercury within normal reference range — no evidence of significant exposureA small amount of mercury is detectable, likely from normal dietary fish consumption. This is within the expected range for most people who eat fish regularly and poses no health concern.
No action needed. If you eat high-mercury fish frequently, consider reducing intake of large predatory fish.
Blood mercury: low-normal rangeYour blood mercury level is in the normal range, consistent with typical dietary exposure from fish. This level is not associated with adverse health effects in adults.
No specific action required. Continue standard guidance on fish consumption and retest if exposure risk increases.
Blood mercury within acceptable reference range — consistent with background dietary exposureYour mercury level is in the optimal range with a very low body burden. This reflects minimal dietary and environmental mercury exposure.
No action needed. Maintain current dietary habits.
Blood mercury: optimal range — minimal mercury burdenYour blood mercury is above the normal reference range. This level is typically associated with high consumption of mercury-rich fish like tuna, swordfish, or king mackerel. At this range, subtle neurological effects are possible with continued exposure, especially in pregnant women and children.
Reduce consumption of high-mercury fish immediately. Pregnant women should discuss this result urgently with their pregnancy doctor (OB). Retest in 3–6 months after dietary changes.
Blood mercury 10–20 mcg/L — borderline elevated; above EPA reference doseYour blood mercury is significantly elevated, indicating meaningful mercury accumulation. This level is associated with neurological symptoms including tingling in hands and feet, memory problems, vision changes, and fatigue. Long-term exposure at this level causes progressive nerve damage.
Seek medical evaluation. Eliminate high-mercury fish from your diet and identify any non-dietary sources (dental amalgam removal, occupational exposure). Your doctor may recommend a drug that pulls metals out of the body assessment.
Blood mercury >20 mcg/L — elevated; evidence of mercury toxicity riskYour blood mercury is critically elevated and consistent with mercury poisoning. noticeable mercury toxicity causes progressive destruction of the nervous system, including tremors, memory loss, personality changes, vision impairment, and kidney damage. This level requires immediate medical intervention.
Seek emergency medical care immediately. A drug that pulls metals out of the body with DMSA or DMPS is typically required. All mercury exposure sources must be identified and eliminated urgently.
