Renal tubular dysfunction in greenhouse farmers exposed to pesticides unveiled by a panel of molecular biomarkers of kidney injury
Growing evidence suggests that chronic exposure to pesticides may cause adverse effects on the health of the exposed population leading to organ-specific toxicity, including kidney damage. Traditional markers used to assess renal function (glomerular filtration rate (GFR), and serum creatinine and cystatin C –Cys-C–) are inadequate to evaluate a potential subclinical renal impairment linked to…
