Assessment of the filtration reserve capacity of the kidney in workers exposed to cadmium / H.A. Roels... [et al.]
Sumario: Cadmium workers may exhibit decreased kallikrein activity in urine, it was considered important to assess whether an inreased renal Cd burden, not yet sufficient to modify the urinary excretion of plasma proteins, may alredy impair the renal filtration reserve capacity. Therefore, in the present investigation the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) has been estimated in control and Cd workers by measuring the creatinine clearance under baseline conditions and after an acute oral protein load
