The majority affected were male farmers. The severity of the disease was inversely associated with BMI values and had a higher prevalence of smoking and alcohol consumption. In addition, those who consume water from household dug wells had significantly lower eGFR (p < 0.0001). A linear regression analysis revealed a significant positive association between lower eGFR and lower BMI (p < 0.001). We hypothesised that the low BMI in those with CKDu may have increased susceptibility to develop CKDu, in the presence of exposure to multiple nephrotoxins and adverse conditions.]]> Wed 07 Apr 2021 20:21:25 AEST ]]> Exposure, toxicity, health impacts, and bioavailability of heavy metal mixtures https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:30285 Thu 09 Dec 2021 11:02:06 AEDT ]]> Can the mouse model successfully predict mixed metal(loid)s bioavailability in humans from contaminated soils? https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:51476 Thu 07 Sep 2023 10:45:46 AEST ]]> Dietary heavy metal(loid)s exposure and prevalence of chronic kidney disease of unknown aetiology (CKDu) in Sri Lanka https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:49223 Sun 07 May 2023 09:44:09 AEST ]]> Assessment of the oral bioavailability of organic contaminants in humans https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:44591 Mon 17 Oct 2022 14:25:35 AEDT ]]>
