Nephropathy induced by heavy metals - what does this mean

Nephropathy induced by heavy metals is a type of kidney disease caused by the accumulation of heavy metals in the body, which can damage the filtering units of the kidneys and impair their ability to remove waste and excess fluid from the body. this can lead to a buildup of toxins in the blood, resulting in symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, and changes in urination.

What happens during the disease - nephropathy induced by heavy metals

Nephropathy induced by heavy metals is caused by the accumulation of toxic metals in the kidneys, which leads to the disruption of normal kidney function. these metals can damage the glomerular filtration barrier, leading to increased permeability and a decrease in the clearance of waste products from the body. this can lead to inflammation and scarring of the kidneys, which can result in proteinuria, edema, and ultimately, chronic kidney disease.
