The Science
About Platinum
Platinum compounds are used in cancer treatment and industrial processes. They bind DNA and proteins, disrupting cell division.
Urine platinum reflects recent exposure. In medical contexts, elevated levels may be associated with kidney injury and peripheral neuropathy, which means nerve damage causing numbness or pain.
Low levels indicate no exposure.
