Abstract
Cadmium, copper and zinc have been determined in kidney cortex, kidney medulla and liver from 51 cadmium-polluted and 122 nonpolluted autopsied subjects. Liver cadmium and zinc were significantly higher in the cadmium-polluted subjects than in the nonpolluted subjects. Kidney cadmium, copper and zinc were lower in the cadmium-polluted subjects because of renal damage. Significant correlations of the three metals were found in the kidney. In the liver the correlation coefficients were significant only between cadmium and zinc.Entities:
