Título Proteinuria of cadmium workers.
Información bibliográfica July 1976, Vol.18, No.7, p.463-466. Illus. 6 ref.
Resumen Results of almost 10 years' observation of 16 cadmium workers, including 5 subjects of a previous study (CIS 242-1968, Cek Gsy Qem), since when hygiene conditions in the plant were improved. Cadmium-induced proteinuria was reversible in some workers. The relation between urinary cadmium and proteinuria after cessation of exposure is not clear. Anaemia and other biochemical changes may be reversible if exposure is reduced. Reduction of air cadmium to approx. 20µg/m3 remarkably improved workers' general health.
