Zinc – Serum ( BC0201 )

Description

Zinc (Zn) Test measures the level of zinc in your blood to check for zinc deficiency. Zinc is an essential mineral that supports immune function, wound healing, protein production, and overall growth and development. It is obtained from foods like meat, fish, dairy products, grains, and vegetables, but poor absorption or increased body demand can lead to deficiency.

Low zinc levels may cause hair loss, slow wound healing, skin problems, weak immunity, and growth issues in children. This test is advised when these symptoms are present or when a person is at risk of deficiency due to conditions like poor nutrition, pregnancy, burns, or digestive problems. A blood sample is used for testing, and fasting may be preferred for accurate results. Zinc levels are also monitored during supplementation to ensure proper recovery.
