Cadmium-induced renal effects in the general environment

  • Chapter
Clinical Nephrotoxins

Abstract

The first report on the adverse health effects of cadmium exposure was published by Friberg in 1950 [1]. He found a high prevalence of proteinuria (65% using the nitric acid test and 81% using the trichloroacetic acid test) in cadmiumexposed workers.
