Lead poisoning chronic

Occupational disease is not a new phenomenon. Ample historical evidence exists recounting the effects of lead poisoning, chronic respiratory problems associated with mining, and hazards of manufacturing (including traumatic injury)-... [Pg.324]

Chronic lead poisoning Chronic inorganic lead poisoning (plumbism) is much more common than the acute form. Signs include peripheral neuropathy (wrist drop is character-... [Pg.512]

Workers who produce or use lead should be aware of possible ha2ards. Symptoms of chronic lead poisoning include fatigue, headache, constipation, uneasy stomach, irritabiHty, poor appetite, metallic taste, weight loss, and loss of sleep. Most of these same symptoms also occur in many common illnesses, such as the flu, thus a physician must rely on tests, such as blood lead analysis, to determine chronic lead poisoning. [Pg.52]

The alimentary symptoms may be overshadowed by neuromuscular dysfunction, accompanied by signs of motor weakness that may progress to paralysis of the exterior muscles or the wrist (wrist drop), and less often, of the ankles (foot drop). Encephalopathy, the most serious result of lead poisoning, frequendy occurs in children as a result of pica, ie, ingestion of inorganic lead compounds in paint chips this rarely occurs in adults. Nephropathy has also been associated with chronic lead poisoning (147). The toxic effects of lead may be most pronounced on the developing fetus. Consequendy, women must be particulady cautious of lead exposure (148). The U.S. Center for Disease Control recommends a blood level of less than 10 p.m per 100 mL for children. [Pg.73]

In a study of 102 cases of occupational lead poisoning, 17 cases of clinically verified chronic nephropathy were found (Lilis et al. 1968). Endogenous creatinine clearance was <80 pg/dL. The mean PbB level for the entire study population was 80 pg/dL (range, 42-141 pg/dL). Nephropathy was more common among those exposed to lead for more than 10 years than among those exposed for less than 10 years. [Pg.65]

Nephropathy has been associated with chronic lead poisoning. " A study of two large cohorts of heavily exposed lead workers followed through 1980 demonstrated a nearly threefold excess of deaths attributed to chronic nephritis or other hypertensive disease, primarily kidney disease. Most of the excess deaths occurred before 1970, among men who began work before 1946, suggesting that current lower levels of exposure may reduce the risk. Experimental animal studies suggest there may be a threshold for lead nephrotoxicity, and in workers, nephropathy occurred only in those with blood levels over 62p,g/dl for up to 12 years."... [Pg.421]
