The Potential Role of Cadmium, Chromium, Lead and Nickel to the Prevalence of Chronic Kidney Disease in Hadejia, Jigawa State, Nigeria

Paper C Peer reviewed Observational

Key takeaways

Researchers in Hadejia, Jigawa State, Nigeria looked at four toxic metals: cadmium, chromium, lead and nickel. They checked whether higher levels of these metals went along with more chronic kidney disease in the local population. This is an observational study, so it can show a link, not proof that the metals caused the kidney damage. The posted record has no abstract, so the number of people tested and the metal levels found are not available here.
