What is a Zinc Test in Kolkata?
The Zinc (Serum) Test in Kolkata is a blood test that measures the level of zinc in your serum (the liquid part of your blood). Zinc is an essential mineral that supports immunity, growth, DNA repair, and overall cell health.
Doctors recommend this test to diagnose zinc deficiency or toxicity, especially for individuals with frequent infections, poor wound healing, hair loss, or digestive problems. The test uses Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICPMS) technology — a highly accurate method for measuring trace minerals in the body.
What Does a Zinc Test Measure in Kolkata?
The test measures the amount of zinc circulating in your bloodstream to help:
- Detect zinc deficiency or toxicity.
- Evaluate immune health and healing ability.
- Assess malnutrition, liver disease, or gastrointestinal disorders.
- Monitor the effects of zinc supplementation.
- Identify zinc exposure due to industrial or environmental factors.
Who Should Consider a Zinc Test in Kolkata?
Your doctor may suggest this test if you have:
- Delayed wound healing or frequent infections.

Why is a Zinc Test Done in Kolkata?
