| Abstract |
Description of a simple and rapid method of determining urinary coproporphyrins (UCP): acidification and centrifugation of sample and separation by reverse phase column (C18) chromatography. This method was used for the determination of UCP in 28 workers with occupational lead exposure. There was close correlation with urinary ALA (correlation coefficient of 0.74). UCP determination is adequately sensitive but is lacking in biological specificity; it should therefore be considered only as a back-up test procedure in occupational medicine. |
