Human exposure to cadmium may occur in both occupational and general environments.
We were interested in determining whether a combination of occupational and …

To assess the quantitative relation between exposure to airborne cadmium and various
markers of renal tubular and glomerular function, 45 male workers employed at a plant that …

A retrospective examination of the medical records gathered during several surveys carried
out among cadmium workers has permitted the identification of a group of 19 workers who …

Urinary β2-microglobulin and N-acetyl-β-d-glucosaminidase have been recommended as
sensitive indicators of renal dysfunction induced by cadmium. However, an increase in …

Cadmium-induced renal effects were followed (1989) in 16 workers previously exposed to
cadmium, who had been shown 5 years earlier to have had tubular damage; all but 1 worker …

Blood and urine samples were obtained from 274 smelter workers and urine samples from
48 controls. Cadmium, beta 2-microglobulin, and creatinine were estimated in blood and …

Detailed biochemical investigations of renal function were made on 75 male workers
exposed to cadmium and an equal number of referents matched for age, sex, and …

We measured sensitive indicators of renal damage in three different populations
occupationally exposed to cadmium, and examined the degree of variation in damage and …

Objectives: To examine whether the current level of environmental exposure to cadmium
(Cd) is associated with kidney dysfunction among general populations in Japan. Methods: A …

Objectives The nephrotoxicity of cadmium at low levels of exposure, measured by urinary
cadmium, has recently been questioned since co-excretion of cadmium and proteins may …
