Nephrotoxic Effects of Cadmium
Cadmium is a modern toxic metal and is a by-product of zinc and lead mining and smelting, which are important sources of environmental pollution. In humans, the kidney is recognized as the most critical organ affected by chronic exposure to cadmium. The present study was designed to explore the renotoxic effects of intraperitoneal acute administration of CdCl2 (0.32 mg/kg b.w.) in albino mice. ...
متن کاملNephrotoxic effects of Valeriana wallichii.
Aminoglycosides are the commonly used antibiotics against Gram negative bacteria. Their clinical applications are limited due to nephrotoxic side effects. Therefore, the current study was undertaken in an attempt to increase the use of these drugs without causing nephrotoxicity by exploring the nephroprotective effects of a medicinal plant with high flavonoid contents and strong antioxidant pro...
متن کاملPotential nephrotoxic effects of exposure to silver.
A cross sectional study was conducted on workers engaged in manufacturing precious metal powder. Of the 27 workers, 96% had raised urine silver concentrations (range 0.5-52.0 micrograms/l, mean 11.3 micrograms/l) and 92% had raised blood silver concentrations (range 0.05-6.2 micrograms/100 ml, mean 1.0 microgram/100 ml). Nineteen per cent also had raised urine cadmium concentrations (range 1.9-...
متن کاملCadmium: exposure markers as predictors of nephrotoxic effects.
Cadmium (Cd) is a cumulative element with a biological half-life of > 10 years in humans. The total amount of Cd accumulated in the liver and in the kidney can be measured in vivo by neutron activation (or x-ray fluorescence), but this technique does not necessarily measure the fraction that is biologically active. At low exposure (i.e., general environmental exposure or moderate occupational e...
