The Relationship between Blood Lead Level and Neuro-psychological and Hematological Findings in Lead-Exposed Workers of Battery Industry
Background: Hematological effects and digestive and neuro-psychological signs and symptoms are some manifestations of lead toxicity. However, there are conflicting reports of their prevalence among lead exposed workers and their relationship with blood lead levels (BLL). This case- control study assessed the relationship between BLL and hematological indexes and digestive (abdominal colic, ir...
متن کاملThe influence of beta-carotene on homocysteine level and oxidative stress in lead-exposed workers.
BACKGROUND Oxidative stress is involved in lead toxicity. This suggests that some antioxidants may play a role in the treatment of lead poisoning. In the light of this, the aim of the study was to determine whether beta-carotene administration reduces oxidative stress and homocysteine level in workers chronically exposed to lead. MATERIAL AND METHODS The exposed population included healthy ma...
متن کاملBlood lead levels and anemia in lead exposed workers.
The effects of lead on haematological parameters were studied in 51 occupationally exposed individuals comprising of 27 lead furnace workers, 24 lead pellet handlers and 20 healthy age and service matched controls. Blood lead levels were estimated by atomic absorption spectrometer AAS-180-80 and haematological parameters by Technicon H.1 system. The lead furnace workers had highest blood lead l...
متن کاملEvaluation of total and differential white blood cell counts in workers exposed to lead
Introduction: Lead is a toxic heavy metal that has adverse health effects on blood parameters. About 80% of lead produced is used in batteries, especially vehicle batteries. Therefore, the present study aimed to assess the hematological changes, including total and differential white blood cell (WBC) counts in battery workers exposed to lead, and compare with the non-exposed group. Materials a...
متن کاملCorrelation between plasma 5-aminolevulinic acid concentrations and indicators of oxidative stress in lead-exposed workers.
5-Aminolevulinic acid (ALA), a heme precursor accumulated in acute intermittent porphyria and lead poisoning, undergoes metal-catalyzed aerobic oxidation at physiological pH to yield reactive free radical species (O2., HO., and ALA.). We analyzed the relationships between plasma ALA concentrations, blood concentrations of lead, protoporphyrin IX (PP-IX), superoxide dismutase (SOD), and methemog...
