Cadmium for Occupational Monitoring, Blood
Clinical Information: The toxicity of cadmium resembles the other heavy metals (arsenic, mercury,
and lead) in that it attacks the kidney; renal dysfunction with proteinuria with slow onset (over a period of
years) is the typical presentation. Breathing the fumes of cadmium vapors leads to nasal epithelial
deterioration and pulmonary congestion resembling chronic emphysema. The most common source of
chronic exposure comes from spray painting of organic-based paints without use of a protective breathing
apparatus; auto repair mechanics represent a susceptible group for cadmium toxicity. Tobacco smoke is
another common source of cadmium exposure.
Useful For: Detecting exposure to cadmium
Interpretation: Normal blood cadmium is
