Abstract |
As a criterion for the evaluation of renal tubule lesions due to cadmium, the urinary concentration of β2-microglobulins can play an important role in the medical supervision of persons exposed to cadmium. The radioimmunoassay method is reliable and practical for group screening. Blood and urine analyses among non-exposed persons showed normal β2-microglobulin levels of 1.0-2.3mg/l serum and a normal upper limit of 3.20µg/l urine. |
