Erostegui1 Carla Oporto Lourdes Zalles Ricardo Sevilla Ana María Romero Medicina Cadmium environmental pollution glomerular filtration rate Cadmium is a heavy metal found in mining and other wastes, and has deleterious effects on human health, especially in the kidney where it destroys tubular cells. In an investigation of the quality of river beds receiving wastewater in northern Potosi, Bolivia, cadmium was reported in potatoes irrigated with wastewater in Quila-quila, a rural town in the area. Objective: The aim of this study was to identify possible damage caused by cadmium to the health of the inhabitants of Quila-quila. Methods: clinical review and clinical and chemical laboratory analysis of blood and urine of the inhabitants of Quila-quila was carried out, and the glomerular filtration rate (TFG) was calculated and correlated with indicators of glomerular damage. Results: elevated blood cadmium levels were found in some people, and a correlation of TFG with blood cadmium concentration and with indicators of glomerular membrane damage. Conclusions: In conclusion, the inhabitants of Quila-quila were contaminated by cadmium, which produced mild kidney damage. 2020 artículo científico 1012-2966 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=445674705013 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/4456/445674705013/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/4456/445674705013/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/4456/445674705013/445674705013.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/4456/445674705013/movil en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=4456 Gaceta Médica Boliviana application/pdf Universidad Mayor de San Simón Gaceta Médica Boliviana (Estado Plurinacional de Bolivia) Num.2 Vol.43 |
