Description
Summary:Lead is very similar to calcium chemically. [...] once in the body, it is handled as if it were calcium. The tests evaluating the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) (creatinine clearance, blood urea nitrogen, serum creatinine) are the only ones that can be used to detect the renal effect caused by the occupational exposure to Pb.
