    Hello @Emilija and a warm welcome to our online community.  How are you and your daughter doing today?

    Is your question about what type of blood analysis your daughter/you needs doing? Also - not being nosey(!), but just so we better understand - why do you think a blood analysis is needed?

    As we aren't medical professionals, we can't really give advice on specific tests so my first point of call would be visiting your GP to discuss the subject more.  Is this something you've explored?

    I hope you're having a lovely Wednesday.  Take care and I hope we can speak again soon :)

    hi @Emilija - welcome to the community & thank you for joining. I'm wondering why you're asking about getting blood, urine, etc. testing on your daughter. If you have any concerns your GP would order any appropriate testing, I would think. Unfortunately as we're not medically qualified, we really can't say if any testing is needed.
    How are you & your daughter? If you have any questions our CP Specialist Information Officer I'm sure will try & help. Unfortunately I believe he's on leave at the moment, but will likely catch up with you when he's back. :)

    Hi @Emilija
    Thanks for your question and it's good to meet you.

    As has been mentioned you should have this conversation with your doctor. I am interested as to why you are seeking tests for heavy metal poisoning?
