The Heavy Metal Testing Protocol using Calcium EDTA (CaEDTA) provocation is a clinically validated procedure designed to assess toxic metal burdens in patients.
This standardized protocol ensures precise administration of CaEDTA via intravenous infusion combined with glutathione, along with detailed patient preparation, specimen collection, and post-testing instructions to maximize test reliability.
The guide emphasizes safety by outlining contraindications, patient monitoring during infusion, and management of potential adverse reactions.
Proper urine specimen handling and shipping procedures are included to maintain sample integrity.
This comprehensive SOP supports healthcare providers in delivering consistent, accurate heavy metal testing while minimizing risks.
Ideal for functional medicine clinicians and infusion specialists, it enhances diagnostic accuracy and patient care in toxic metal detoxification programs.
