Use:
This test is used to monitor recent or acute exposure to cadmium.
Cadmium poisoning through industrial exposure to inorganic cadmium fumes may produce fatigue, coughing, chest pain, a burning sensation in the throat, and renal damage. The prognosis of persons with cadmium-induced renal dysfunction is unfavorable, with urinary-microglobulin and urinary protein the most important factors.
Toxicity from inhaling fumes might cause pulmonary edema, lung inflammation. Chronic exposure might cause early hypertension, atherosclerosis and kidney disease.
Recommended For:
Detecting toxicity due to exposure at work/accidental exposure.
