Urine Cadmium

The normal adult cadmium load is 30 ~ 45mg, which accumulates from birth, so that the cadmium concentration in the body increases with age, until the age of 50. The source of cadmium is food, water and air. Therefore, the pollution of soil and water by cadmium-containing waste residue can cause harm to human health. After the cadmium absorbed by the oral cavity or respiratory tract is transferred to the blood, most of it is concentrated in the kidney and liver, and a small part is distributed in the pancreas, thyroid, gallbladder, testis, and bone. Cadmium is mainly excreted in the urine. A significant decrease in the zinc/cadmium ratio in the human kidney (ie, ≤ 1.5) is a cause of hypertension. Acute cadmium poisoning has acute gastroenteritis or acute chemical pneumonia, pulmonary edema. Chronic cadmium poisoning has renal damage, proteinuria, emphysema, and pulmonary fibrosis.
