Renal dysfunctions of inhabitants in a cadmium-polluted area

Journal Article · · Environ. Res.; (United States)
Renal functions of all cadmium-exposed inhabitants of a village over the age of 40 and of a control group were examined. Creatinine clearance and percentage renal phosphorus reabsorption (% TRP) were used as the renal function tests. Creatinine clearance and % TRP fell significantly in the cadmium-exposed inhabitants. At the early stage of renal dysfunction, the fall of creatinine clearance was much greater than that of % TRP. Creatinine clearance may be a rather sensitive indicator of renal dysfunction caused by cadmium exposure.
