Cal Kulis. Mr. Knlis has cystinuria, a relatively rare disorder, with a () prevalence that ranges between 1 in 2,500 to 1 in 15,000 births, depending on the population stndied. It is a genetically determined disease with a complex recessive mode of inheritance resulting from allelic mutations. These mutations lead to a reduction in the activity of renal tubular cell transport proteins that normally carry cystine from the tubular lumen into the renal tubular cells. The transport of the basic amino acids (lysine, arginine, and ornithine, an amino acid...

ZVEI has created a diagram (Figure 5.3) to determine the expected service life of a lead-acid traction battery with positive tubular plates this diagram is a good basis for calculation, but it has to be noted that this diagram is only applicable for cells with a liquid electrolyte. For other cell types, e.g., the VRLA types, the diagram cannot be used.

Of the conventional secondary systems, the nickel-iron and the vented pocket-type nickel-cadmium batteries are best with regard to cycle life and total lifetime. The nickel-hydrogen battery developed mainly for aerospace applications, has demonstrated very long cycle life under shallow depth of discharge. The lead-acid batteries do not match the performance of the best alkaline batteries. The pasted cells have the shortest life of the lead-acid cells the best cycle life is obtained with the tubular design, and the Plante design has the best lifetime.

Renal Effects. The characteristics of early or acute lead-induced nephropathy in humans include nuclear inclusion bodies, mitochondrial changes, and cytomegaly of the proximal tubular epithelial cells dysfunction of the proximal tubules (Fanconi s syndrome) manifested as aminoaciduria, glucosuria, and phosphaturia with hypophosphatemia and increased sodium and decreased uric acid excretion. These effects appear to be reversible. Characteristics of chronic lead nephropathy include progressive interstitial fibrosis, dilation of tubules and atrophy or hyperplasia of the tubular epithelial cells, and few or no nuclear inclusion bodies, reduction in glomerular filtration rate, and azotemia. These effects are irreversible. The acute form is reported in lead-intoxicated children, whose primary exposure is via the oral route, and sometimes in lead workers. The chronic form is reported mainly in lead workers, whose primary exposure is via inhalation. Animal studies provide evidence of nephropathy similar to that which occurs in humans, particularly the acute form (see Section 2.2.3.2). 

Lead. Lead, as Pb2+, is taken up readily by proximal tubule cells, where it damages mitochondria and inhibits mitochondrial function, altering the normal absorptive functions of the cell. Complexes of lead with acidic proteins appear as inclusion bodies in the nuclei of tubular epithelium cells. These bodies, formed before signs of lead toxicity occur, appear to serve as a protective mechanism.
