Urine manganese

The human body contains 12-18 mg of manganese. Manganese is mainly absorbed in the intestine, and is discharged into the feces through the liver with bile, and a small amount can be reabsorbed by the intestine. Manure excreted by the urine is less than 10% of the total discharge. Manganese accumulation in bone accounts for about 43% of the total body. Because manganese participates in the composition and activation of various enzymes, it is related to protein synthesis and improves lipid metabolism in atherosclerosis. Manganese can also promote the absorption and utilization of iron, participate in the synthesis of mucopolysaccharide (mucopolysaccharide is the main component of cartilage and bone tissue), and can resist oxidation and eliminate free radicals, and play a role in preventing cancer. Basic Information Specialist classification: urinary examination classification: urine / kidney function test Applicable gender: whether men and women apply fasting: not fasting Analysis results: Below normal: normal. Normal value: Urinary manganese: 0-0.18μmol/L Above normal: Manganese poisoning (urinary manganese, fecal manganese elevation can be used as a reference for diagnosis, but not as a major indicator of occupational poisoning). negative: Positive: Tips: It is forbidden to exercise vigorously.

The middle part of the urine is taken for inspection. Normal value 0.18 μmol/L (<0.01 mg/L). Clinical significance Elevation: Manganese poisoning (urinary manganese, fecal manganese elevation can be used as a diagnostic reference, but not as a major indicator of occupational poisoning). High results may be diseases: precautions for manganese poisoning Before the test: prohibit strenuous exercise, maintain a good diet and work schedule, stop the licorice, raw stomach ketone, amphetamine, amphotericin B, barbital and other drugs one week before the test.
