Increases in urine concentration of specific proteins have been proposed as early indicators of deleterious changes in kidney function. Four urinary proteins (albumin, superoxide dismutase, transferrin and N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminidase) were measured in workers exposed to heavy metals and solvents. None of the workers had clinical evidence of renal disease or hypertension. Workers exposed to mercury had a significant increase in urinary transferring, superoxide dismutase levels were slightly increased in workers exposed to solvents and lead, follow-up of these workers is needed to confirm that these changes predict late clinical deterioration of kidney functions.
