dc.description.abstractIntroduction: We studied the relationship between renal dysfunction and occupational lead exposure in a local factory. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study with a cohort component was conducted with 55 male workers of a factory producing PVC stabilisers at subjects. Workers from this factory have been followed up with 6-monthly blood lead measurements since 1982. Two indices of overall lead exposure, i.e. the number of times a worker's blood lead exceeded 40 μg/dL (Pb B40) and cumulative blood lead index (PbBint), were obtained from this data. Recent blood lead concentration (PbB) was measured. 4-hour creatinine clearance and various other urinary and serum markers of renal dysfunction were used as effect indices. Results: There was no relationship between PbB and any of the renal markers. However, creatinine clearance decreased significantly (P
