Chromium is an essential trace element involved in the metabolism of carbohydrates, lipids, and proteins. Only minute amounts are needed for normal physiological function, and the body tightly regulates how much is retained or excreted.

Elevated urinary chromium may indicate excessive exposure from occupational sources, supplements, or contaminated water, while low levels may suggest inadequate intake or increased excretion.
