    What is a Selenium, Blood Test?

    A Selenium - Blood test measures the concentration of selenium in the blood to identify or diagnose deficiencies and toxicity. It can also be used to monitor an individual's response to supplementation.

    Selenium is an essential trace element critical for numerous bodily functions, including the synthesis and metabolism of thyroid hormones, immune support, and antioxidative processes. Selenium is found in many foods, with high concentrations in Brazil nuts, seafood, kidney, and meat. The selenium content in rice and cereals varies by region. Selenium is well absorbed in the gastrointestinal tract, and the body maintains balance by excreting excess amounts through urine.

    Maintaining appropriate selenium levels is important for overall health, as both deficiency and excess can lead to various health issues.

    Regular testing is particularly important for individuals at risk of deficiency, such as those with certain dietary restrictions or absorption issues. Additionally, testing can identify toxicity from excessive supplementation or occupational exposure, symptoms may include eye irritation, hair and nail changes, discoloration of teeth, altered consciousness, and severe respiratory complications.

    Regular testing helps ensure that selenium levels remain within a healthy range, if you live in Bangalore you can get tested with the Selenium - Blood test at home for added convenience.
