hemodialysis is being implicated in the development of metabolic disturbances, as complications have been observed and the role of trace metals in their development has been questioned. in 78 renal failure patients who underwent hemodialysis, serum levels of zinc and copper were determined before and after first hemodialysis. acute and chronic renal failure patients were found to have lower ser...

The human body has an elaborate system for managing and regulating the amount of key trace metals circulating in blood and stored in cells. Nutrient metals from our diet are incorporated into blood if blood levels are depleted, transported into cells if cellular levels are inadequate, or excreted if blood and cell levels are sufficient or overloaded. When this system fails to function properly,...

IMPORTANCE Abnormal body levels of essential elements and exposure to toxic trace metals have been postulated to contribute to the pathogenesis of diseases affecting many organ systems, including the eye. OBJECTIVE To investigate associations between body levels of trace metals and the prevalence of glaucoma in a cross-sectional population-based study. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS Bloo...

wound healing in the skin depends upon the availability of appropriate trace metals as enzyme cofactors and structural components in tissue repair. the present study is a part of a series of experimental investigations to examine the influence of bentonite on skin wound healing. surgically induced skin wounds in 48 young adult male rats were exposed topically to bentonite (12 round wound and 12...

this study assesses the effect of major trace metals levels in wastewater discharges and sedimentfrom twenty four permanent and five semi-permanent wastewater drain outlets into the kuwait coast. theeffect of trace metals levels released from untreated wastewater discharges to euchelus asper, gastropod was also determined. results showed high trace metal levels in e. asper tissues, followed by ...
