Excerpt

Eom et al. (2020) conducted a cross-sectional study to assess the relationship between environmental cadmium (Cd) exposure, copper–zinc imbalance and renal tubular damage in inhabitants living in a Cd-polluted area. The geometric mean of urinary Cd was 2.25 μg/g creatinine, and 2 μg/g creatinine was used for the cut-off point of binary Cd exposure classification. The risk of renal tubular damage was significantly associated with urinary Cd level, particularly in the lowest or highest serum copper-to-zinc ratio (CZR) tertile groups. I have some concerns about their study. …
