This chapter describes the acute and chronic nephrotoxic effects of lead in human populations. These effects have long been recognized in chronic adult occupational lead exposures and in nonoccupational adult exposures arising from dietary Pb intakes, producing disorders such as gouty nephropathy.

The syndrome often co-occurred with acute encephalopathy. [Pg.567]
