Abstract
Kidney-function tests carried out on 42 pesticideexposed and 23 control subjects failed to identify chronic occupational differences in glomerular function, or in tubular reabsorption of phosphate or total α amino acid nitrogen. In one case of acute organophosphate poisoning, tubular reabsorption of phosphate was initially defective but returned to normal in the course of four months. Certain occupational differences in uric acid excretion are as yet unexplained.
