LOINC description : Barium can be measured in body tissues and fluids, such as bones, blood, serum, urine,
and feces. Testing is usually done only for cases of severe barium poisoning and for
medical research. Barium accumulates in bone. Inhaled barium can be absorbed through
the lung or directly from the nasal membrane into the bloodstream. Insoluble compounds,
such as barium sulfate, accumulate in the lungs and are cleared slowly by ciliary
action. Barium is eliminated in the urine and in the feces, the rates varying with
the route of administration.;
