Abstract
- The article calls for universal lead testing in pregnancy. It outlines reason to consider a universal lead testing approach that include inadequate prediction of blood lead levels (BLL) during pregnancy by risk-factor-based screening paradigms, universal blood testing for other conditions, opportunity for health promotion, BLL assay as an inexpensive test, and early intervention upon identification of lead in the blood of a pregnant individual.
