| Abstract |
Results of renal function tests in 80 workers exposed to heat at an open-hearth furnace steelworks and a tube rolling shop, and 30 workers not exposed to heat. The exposed workers, especially those with more than 6 years' employment, showed reduced glomerular filtration and renal blood flow. The disorders are attributed to extrarenal water and electrolyte (especially sodium) losses, haemoconcentration and the resulting haemodynamic disturbances in the kidney. |
