Η τοξικότητα των βαρέων μετάλλων στους νεφρούς

People are exposed to various potentially toxic agents and conditions in their natural and occupational environments. These agents may be physical or chemical, may enter the human body through oral, inhalational, or transdermal routes and may exert effects on all organ systems. Several well-known as well as lesser known associations exist between kidney disease and environmental agents and conditions, such as heavy metals. The effects of these agents may be modulated by genetic susceptibility and other comorbid conditions and may lead to the development of acute and Chronic Kidney Disease. This paper presents the toxic effects of heavy metals with special reference to those heavy metals which cause, among other things, and kidney damage. Reference is also made for their presence of the dialysis fluid and their importance in hemodialysis patients. Mentioned therapeutic measures for poisoning by heavy metals and proposed preventive measures.
