Selenium Test in Pune

What is Selenium Test

Selenium Test is a laboratory test that measures the level of selenium in the blood. Selenium is a mineral that is essential for many bodily functions, including thyroid hormone metabolism and antioxidant activity. The test is performed by taking a sample of blood from a vein in the arm and sending it to a laboratory for analysis. The results of the test can help diagnose selenium deficiency or toxicity, as well as monitor treatment for certain medical conditions.
