What are the Interventions for Elevated Blood Lead Levels?
If a child has an elevated BLL, the first step is to identify and eliminate the source of lead exposure. Chelation therapy may be used in cases of very high BLLs to remove lead from the body. Nutritional counseling to ensure adequate intake of calcium, iron, and vitamin C can also help reduce lead absorption. Regular follow-up testing is necessary to monitor BLLs over time.
