I had a platinum toxicity test done recently and it came back negative (meaning no traceable platinum in my blood). My doc requested it from my local lab. It cost $90 but it was worth it. I also had a silcone test and a mercury level test-- both negative. I had my implants for one year and they were intact. I would think someone who has had them longer or if they have ruptured might have a higher level. I definitely think it is a good idea, just for one's own info.
