We compared thyroid hormone levels of inhabitants (19 men and 16 women) of the cadmium (Cd)-polluted Kakehashi River basin in Ishikawa Prefecture, with those of subjects (23 men and 47 women) living in a non-polluted area. In addition, we investigated the relationships between the thyroid hormone levels and indices of renal dysfunction induced by Cd exposure. The following results were obtained: 1) The free T4 level of females was significantly lower than that of controls. 2) The T3 level of inhabitants of both sexes was significantly higher than that of controls. 3) The level of free T4 among females became lower with the increases of urinary beta 2-microglobulin (beta 2-MG), urinary protein, urinary sugar, urinary amino acids and serum creatinine (Cr) levels, and with decreases of creatinine-clearance (CCr) and %TRP. 4) We could not find any relationship between the increase of T3 and the indices of renal dysfunction induced by Cd exposure in either sex.
