title: [Nephropathy induced by cadmium in eels adapted to seawater (teleosts)].
abstract: Nephropathic casts are produced in the kidneys of eels adapted to sea water and submitted to Cd exposure. They are made of phosphate and oxalate of calcium and might contain traces of carbonates. Spherites are formed and grow in the lumen of nephrons and collecting tubules; they are linked to a glycoproteic secretion. They are devoid of Cd and do not contribute to excrete the toxic metal.
