Heavy metals refer to metal elements with atomic weight greater than 65, such as mercury and lead. If the content of heavy metals in human body exceeds the standard, it will lead to poisoning and may affect the function of tissues and cells.

If the heavy metals in the body exceed the standard, we must first find out what kind of metal causes poisoning and what causes it. Remove the cause and treat according to the types of heavy metals.

For example, the specific drugs for mercury poisoning are sodium dimercaptopropane and lead poisoning, which should be treated with EDTA and other drugs. For arsenic poisoning, an antidote, such as DMSA, can be used. Cadmium poisoning, also use EDTA.

Manganese poisoning can be given anti-Parkinson drugs. If you are poisoned by eating heavy metals, you can use vomiting to wash your stomach. If you have renal failure, you can also use hemodialysis for symptomatic support treatment.
