Observations on urinary cadmium and protein excretion in men exposed to cadmium oxide dust and fume.

چکیده
Prolonged exposure of workmen in the alkaline accumulator industry to cadmium oxide dust led in many cases to the appearance of protein in the urine (Friberg, 1950). This observation has been confirmed in a preliminary publication (Smith, Kench, and Lane, 1955). Proteinuria has also been observed in men exposed to cadmium fume (Bonnell, 1955). There is reason to believe that this urinary protein is not a normal major serum protein constituent (Friberg, 1950; Kekwick, 1955). This paper presents further data on the incidence and degree of proteinuria in relation to cadmium exposure and excretion.

Renal tubular dysfunction and abnormalities of calcium metabolism in cadmium workers
Tubular proteinuria is generally accepted as the critical effect following long-term, low-level exposure to cadmium as seen in an industrial environment. This effect may not be of immediate importance to the health of the individual, but the significance, in terms of long-term morbidity and mortality, of the renal tubular defect of which it is an indicator is not fully understood, and certain s...
متن کاملChemical and histological post-mortem studies on a workman exposed for many years to cadmium oxide fume.
Post-mortem examinations of workers who died of cadmium poisoning after exposure to cadmium oxide fume have been reported by Baader (1951), Lane and Campbell (1954), and Bonnell (1955). Friberg (1950) and Friberg and Nystr6m (1952) reported similar examinations of workmen subjected to cadmium oxide dust. As part of a study of cadmium intoxication it was important to establish the distribution o...
متن کاملA follow-up study of men exposed to cadmium oxide fume.
The results of a follow-up study of 100 men first examined in 1953 after exposure to cadmium oxide fume are presented and discussed. In 1953 there were 19 cases of chronic cadmium poisoning amongst these men. Twenty-four new cases are now described. The first signs of chronic cadmium poisoning could be seen after a latent interval after exposure had ended. Respiratory function tests showed a gr...
متن کاملInvestigations on the lung and kidney function in workers exposed to cadmium.
The kidney seems more sensitive to the chronic effect of cadmium than the lung. Only minor impairments of lung function (mild form of obstructive lung disease) were found after long-term occupational exposure (less than 20 yr) to moderate concentration of cadmium oxide dust and fume. This conclusion, cannot, however be extrapolated to acute or subacute inhalational exposure. The nephrotoxicity ...

To elucidate the influence of cadmium exposure on bone metabolism, associations between urinary/blood cadmium and bone resorption/formation markers were investigated in older cadmium exposed men and women. Increased urinary cross-linked N-telopeptide of type I collagen (NTx), a bone resorption marker, was found to be associated with increased levels of parathyroid hormone, fractional excretion ...
