Abstract

There is some evidence that lead nephropathy is associated with prolonged occupational exposure to lead. Effects of lead on kidney function occur at blood lead levels (PbB) of about 60 μg/100 ml (Ibels and Poolock 1986). The effects could involve both the renal tubules and glomerular-vascular apparatus (Hammond 1977; Ibels and Poolock 1986). In this paper, renal function, both glomerular and tubular was studied in adults who had severe occupational exposure to lead.
