| Resumen |
A characteristic renal response to lead exposure is the formation of discrete, dense, staining intranuclear inclusion bodies in the renal tubular epithelial cells. Cytological examination of the urinary sediment of 19 workers exposed to inorganic lead showed 4 to have exfoliated inclusion-bearing cells of proximal renal tubular origin. These lead-induced inclusion-bearing cells appeared distinctly different from viral-induced inclusions or inclusions of other origin. Their presence is cytological evidence of injury to the tubular epithelium; however, their clinical significance and their application to medical monitoring are not clearly understood. |
