Toenail metal concentrations and kidney health among young people at risk of chronic kidney disease of uncertain etiology
In this sample of young people in a high-chronic kidney disease of uncertain etiology-risk region, nickel and arsenic were independently associated with reduced eGFR, but other metals and their mixture were not. This finding supports targeted metals biomonitoring and source investigation.
