Nephropathy in chronic lead poisoning.
This paper presents a study of renal function in I02 patients with lead poisoning admitted to the Occupational Diseases Clinic in Bucharest during the past IO years; nearly half the patients had no history of lead colic. Every possible cause of renal damage, other than lead, was excluded by a careful differential diagnosis. Renal function was investigated by repeated determinations of blood ure...
متن کاملBone lead, hypertension, and lead nephropathy.
There is considerable clinical evidence that excessive lead absorption causes renal failure with hypertension and predisposes individuals to hypertension even in the absence of detectable renal failure. Recent analyses of transiliac bone biopsies indicate that unsuspected elevated bone leads may reflect the cause (or contributing cause) of end-stage renal disease in 5% of the European dialysis ...
متن کاملAssessment of the body burden of chelatable lead: a model and its application to lead workers.
A hypothetical model was introduced to estimate the body burden of chelatable lead from the mobilisation yield of lead by calcium disodium ethylenediamine tetra-acetate (CaEDTA). It was estimated that, on average, 14 and 19% of the body burden was mobilised into the urine during the 24 hours after an injection of 53.4 mumol (20 mg) and 107 mumol (40 mg) CaEDTA per kg bodyweight, respectively. T...
متن کاملEvaluation of lead body burden in occupational workers by lead mobilization test.
OBJECTIVE To determine total lead body burden by the Lead mobilization test (LMT) by measuring 4 hours urinary lead excretion in the lead exposed as compared to unexposed industrial workers after administration of 10 mg/Kg of dimercaptosuccinic acid and correlate it with blood lead levels, at Wah district Rawalpindi. METHODS Total 149 males consisting of 87 lead exposed workers and 62 control...
متن کاملRole of Airborne Lead in Increased Body Burden of Lead in Hartford Children*
The ingestion of airborne lead fallout is the mechanism responsible for increased lead body burdens found in 10 urban Connecticut children. The mean indoor lead levels found in housedust was 11,000 mug/g; highest concentrations occurred on windowsills and in floor dust. The mean lead content of Hartford street dirt was 1,200 mug/g; levels were highest near the street and next to the buildings. ...
