Studies in vivo and in vitro have shown a protective effect of zinc against renal dysfunction
caused by cadmium exposure. However, limited human data is available. In this study, we …

Background Despite animal evidence suggests that zinc modulates cadmium nephrotoxicity,
limited human data are available. Objective To test the hypothesis that low serum zinc …

Purpose This cross-sectional study aimed to assess the effect of environmental cadmium
(Cd) exposure and essential metal imbalance on renal tubular damage and oxidative stress …

Background and objectives Exposure to cadmium (Cd) has been associated with aberrant
zinc and copper homeostasis. This study investigated if Cd exposure impairs renal …

Cadmium is an environmental toxic metal and its exposure has become a worldwide public
health threat. We aimed to evaluate the exposure assessment of cadmium in people living in …

The objectives of this study were to examine the association between urinary excretion of
cadmium (U-Cd) copper (U-Cu), and zinc (U-Zn) and the severity of two different indicators …

Low-level cadmium exposure has adverse effects on chronic kidney disease (CKD);
however, the risk factors for elevated blood cadmium levels (BCLs) have not been studied in …

Our early toxicological studies showed that metallothionein (MT) is a protein that carries
cadmium (Cd) to the kidney, explaining why Cd exposures during long time periods may …

Long term cadmium (Cd) exposure in occupational and general environments may give rise
to kidney dysfunction. This effect is usually considered to be the critical effect, ie the effect …

Objective: To analyze the association of the cadmium internal exposure with chronic kidney
disease (CKD) in Chinese adults aged 18 and older. Methods: A total of 9 821 adults aged …
