Association between lead poising and chronic kidney disease in a sample of Iraqi population
Keywords:
lead exposure, chronic kidney disease, environmental exposureAbstract
High environmental exposure to lead is associated with kidney failure, but the effect of low-level environmental exposure has not been well studied .Objective : The aim of the study was to evaluate the blood lead levels in the serum of patients with renal failure and compare it with those in the control group, as well as to verify its relationship with kidney function. Subjects and Method : The study included 87 people, their ages ranged (17-72 years), 45 of them were diagnosed with chronic kidney disease, while 32 of them were diagnosed with good health. Samples were collected from December 2022 to May 2022 and blood lead levels were estimated using atomic absorption Shimadzu in China, biochemical parameters were measured weight calculated for body mass index divided by height squared in meters, serum creatinine and blood urea by colorimetric methods using Spectrophotometer from Genway company . Results : The average levels of lead in the blood in the group of chronic kidney patients were much higher than it was in the control group (p≤ 0.01).
