| Abstract |
Review of the clinical and histological features of occupational renal toxicity and the main aetiological factors: proximal tubulopathies due to lead, cadmium and uranium; glomerular disease due to nephrangiosclerosis, arterial hypertension and carbon disulfide, and immunotoxic glomerular disease due to mercury and lipid solvents in particular. The role of the occupational physician is important in preventing exposure to harmful agents in the work environment (observance of threshold limit values), in medically supervising the workers and in determining fitness for work under specific conditions. Co-operation with the general practitioner and the nephrologist is indispensible in the detection of occupational kidney disease. |
