Résumé :
|
[BDSP. Notice produite par INIST-CNRS 0ikJ9R0x. Diffusion soumise à autorisation]. A successful prevention of renal diseases occurring in occupational exposure to toxic heavy metals such as mercury (Hg), lead (Pb), or cadmium (Cd) largely relies on the capability to detect nephrotoxic effects at a stage where the renal effects are still reversible or at least not yet compromising the kidney function. The knowledge of dose-effect/response relations has been instrumental in setting adequate surveillance strategies to control nephrotoxic effects of these metals through a "biological monitoring of exposure approach".
