Background: Chronic, high-level lead exposure is a known risk factor for kidney disease. The effect of cur-rent low-level environmental lead exposure is less well known, particularly among children, a population gen-erally free from kidney disease risk factors such as hy-pertension and diabetesmellitus. Therefore, in this study, we investigated the association between lead exposure and kidney function in a representative sample of US adolescents. Methods: Participants included 769 adolescents aged 12 to 20 years for whomwhole blood lead and serum cys-tatin C were measured in the Third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, conducted from 1988-1994. The association between blood lead level and level of kidney function (glomerular ...
