New research by LIN members has evaluated whether increased levels of serum creatinine (SCr) in the kidneys (indicative of kidney injury) is also associated with more specific markers of kidney tubular and interstitial injury and function, during prolonged heat stress among workers at high risk of chronic kidney disease of non-traditional origin (CKDnt).
The study, Markers of kidney tubular and interstitial injury and function among sugarcane workers with cross-harvest serum creatinine elevation, was co-authored by Erik Hansson, David H Wegman, Catharina Wesseling, Jason Glaser, Zachary J Schlader, Julia Wijkström, and Kristina Jakobsson and published in the BMJ’s Occupational and environmental medicine.
