Abstract
1 Biochemical markers of kidney damage were examined in 14 male and 12 female workers highly exposed to soluble nickel compounds in a chemic al plant. The results were compared to those obtained in 12 male and 1 2 female matched controls. 2 The concentration of nickel in urine of m ale and female workers averaged 5.0 and 10.3 mu g g(-1) creatinine, re spectively The mean duration of exposure in male and female workers wa s 25 and 15 years.
