About test
What does SERUM ZINC measure?
This test measures the level of zinc in the blood. Zinc is an essential mineral involved in immune function, wound healing, growth, protein production, and normal taste and smell. A healthcare professional may order this test to help assess possible zinc deficiency or excess, monitor zinc status in people with nutritional concerns, or evaluate levels when certain medical conditions or supplements may affect zinc balance.
