The Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) Lead Poisoning Prevention Program has released the 2025 revisions of the Childhood Blood Lead Treatment Guidelines for Minnesota and its Childhood Blood Lead Case Management Guidelines for Minnesota.

Small updates were also made to the Childhood Blood Lead Screening Guidelines for Minnesota. These newly revised guidelines, and all other blood lead guidelines, are available at MDH Blood Lead Level Guidelines.
