Dr. Rajesh Mahajan | |
Leadis a metal exists in both organic & inorganic forms. Lead toxicity occurs due to occupational & environmental exposure especially in developing countries. The ways of contamination include ingestion, inhalation, prenatal exposure and dermal exposure. The clinical presentation of toxicity involves nervous, hematologic and renal system with symptoms like ataxia, convulsions, hemolysis, anemia, glycosuria, nephritis, etc. So, it causes potential multi organ damage if present in large amount in blood. In our case series we studied seven patients who came after occupational exposure to lead with severe renal and hematological symptoms. All patients were discharged after normal renal function tests and hematological tests. |
