[Nephrotoxicity of metallic mercury in conditions of occupational exposure].
The authors discuss the nephrotoxic effect of metallic mercury vapour in conditions of occupational exposure on the basis of literature available. They present the current knowledge on the ways of absorption, distribution and effect of mercury on the human body. Then they focus on biochemical enzymatic and immunological indices used in the assessment of early stage of kidney damage. They also present results of epidemiological survey in workers occupationally exposed to vapour of metallic mercury.
