If I get a urine test, what does that indicate?

If I get a urine test, what does that indicate? Urine tests show the level of thiodiglycolic acid–a break-down product of vinyl chloride. A complete lab report will show your thiodiglyocolic acid results compared to the normal range commonly found in people in the United States. But this test does not reliably indicate exposure to vinyl chloride. There are several other sources of thiodiglycolic acid in urine, including some chemicals, foods, and medications. Health specialists do not know what level of thiodiglycolic acid may be related to what types of health effects. In addition, there is no recommended medical treatment for people with elevated levels of thiodiglycolic acid.
