Whole body calcium deficit in cadmium-exposed workers with hypercalciuria.
Whole body elemental composition of 15 men occupationally exposed to cadmium was determined by total body in vivo neutron activation analysis and whole body counting. A significant deficit (P less than 0.01) in calcium was observed, compared with two groups of control subjects. The deficit increased with length of time exposed to cadmium.
