Quest Diagnostics PFAS (Forever Chemicals) Test Panel

Quest Diagnostics has launched its consumer-initiated, physician ordered blood test for PFAS chemicals. The test measures the levels of potentially harmful chemicals called per- and polyfluorinated alkyl substances (PFAS), which can accumulate and linger in the environment and body. Health effects potentially associated with PFAS exposure include increases in cholesterol levels, decreases in birth weight, lower antibody response to vaccines, kidney and testicular cancer, pregnancy-induced hypertension, preeclampsia, and changes in liver enzymes.

The test comes with the option of a phone consultation with a physician to discuss the results.
