About test
What does COBALT measure?
This test measures cobalt levels in the body. Cobalt is a trace element that is part of vitamin B12 and may also be monitored in people with potential occupational, environmental, or metal-implant-related exposure. It may be used to help evaluate suspected excess exposure or to monitor cobalt levels when clinically indicated. Results should be interpreted by a healthcare professional alongside medical history, exposure details, and other relevant tests.
