Table 3 Subjects who fulfilled at least one of three conditions: a urinary β2-microglobulin (β2MG) level higher than 1000 μg/g cr., blood cadmium level higher than 6 μg/L, or urinary cadmium level higher than 10 μg/g cr., out of 22 subjects in Kosaka clinic in Kosaka town. The values of serum creatinine and urinary α1-microglobulin (α1MG) levels were also presented to support these data. They are listed in order of descending levels of urinary β2MG
No. | Sex | Age | Serum creatinine (mg/dL) | Urinary α1MG (mg/g cr.) | Urinary ß2MG (μg/g cr.) | Blood cadmium (μg/L) | Urinary cadmium (μg/g cr.) | Medical history of diagnosed patients |
