I had hip resurfacing surgeries on my let hip (2009) and right hip (2010). Current blood work follow-up indicates 19.87 mol/L Cobalt and 1.5 mcg/L Chromium. Are these considered safe levels of metal in my blood at this time?

@davidchampagne The cobalt level is definitely high. What were your previous levels? Has the doctor indicated what the next steps might be?
