Lead Poisoning Treatment Guidelines

Lead poisoning treatment aims to remove lead from the body and prevent further harm. If blood lead levels are high, a doctor may recommend chelation therapy, which uses medicines that bind to lead and help your body eliminate it through urine. Mild cases might just need making sure the source of lead exposure is eliminated and monitoring blood levels. Supportive care, including good nutrition, is important because certain nutrients can help decrease lead absorption. The specific treatment depends on how much lead is in your blood and your overall health, so always consult a healthcare professional for personalized guidance.
