The zinc blood test measures the amount of zinc in the serum or plasma portion of your blood. Zinc is an essential trace mineral that the body needs for immune function, wound healing, DNA and protein synthesis, cell division, and normal sense of taste and smell. Because the body does not store large amounts of zinc, blood levels can reflect recent dietary intake as well as underlying health conditions. This test is used to help evaluate zinc levels in people who may have a deficiency or, less commonly, an excess. It may be ordered when symptoms such as poor wound healing, hair loss, loss of taste or smell, frequent infections, or growth issues in children are present. It can also be used to monitor people on long-term intravenous nutrition, those with malabsorption conditions, or individuals taking zinc supplements.

Do you need a doctor's order for a Zinc Blood Test (Serum/Plasma)?

No. Every ordering service listed on this page includes the physician order with the purchase, so you can buy Zinc Blood Test (Serum/Plasma) yourself and take the requisition to the lab. Your results come back to you — what they mean is a conversation for you and a clinician.

Where is the blood drawn for a Zinc Blood Test (Serum/Plasma)?

At a Quest Diagnostics or LabCorp patient service center, depending on which laboratory the ordering service you pick uses. You choose the location and time after you order. LabTestCompare does not draw blood, run tests, or issue results — we only compare what each service charges.

Can you use health insurance for a Zinc Blood Test (Serum/Plasma)?

No. Every price on this page is a self-pay price paid directly to the ordering service, and none of these services bill insurance. If you want Zinc Blood Test (Serum/Plasma) billed through your plan instead, that goes through your own provider — which is a separate route with its own cost, and worth comparing against the prices here.

Is this the same Zinc Blood Test (Serum/Plasma) test a doctor would order?

Yes — it is the same assay, identified by the same laboratory order codes: Quest #5217 and LabCorp #001800. Every price on this page is matched to that code, which is how we can say the services are being compared on an identical test rather than on similarly named products.

How long do Zinc Blood Test (Serum/Plasma) results take?

That is set by the laboratory rather than by us. Routine blood tests are commonly back within a few business days and specialized assays take longer; the ordering service states the expected turnaround for Zinc Blood Test (Serum/Plasma) before you buy, and delivers the result to you directly.
