Renal functiGns, such as β2-microglobulin (β2-m) clearance (Cβ2-m/Ccr), creatinine clearance (Ccr), the maximum tubuiar reabsorptive rate for phosphate per unit volume of GFR (TmP/GFR), uric acid clearance (Cua/Ccr), blood gas analysis and renal glucosuria, were studied in 87 female inhabitants (aged 55 to 71 years) of the cadmium-polluted Jinzu River basin. 1) The values for urinary β2-m in the 87 sublects ranged from 0.5 to 137.7mg/g creatinine with a geometric mean of 7.53mg/g creatinine; all values were increased. 2) The values for Cβ2-m/Ccr in these sublects ranged from 0.2 to 68.9% with a geometric mean of 4.10%; all values were increased. The correlation between urinary β2-m excretion and Cβ2-m/Ccr was highly significant (r=0.986; p<0.001). The values for serum β2-m in 85 subjects did not exceed 4.5mg/ liter, which is the level of the renal threshold of β2-m, so that the increased urinary levels ofβ2-m in the 85 subjects showed a disturbance of reabsorption of,β2-m at the proximal tubules. 3) The values for Ccr ranged from 9.5 to 95.8ml/min, with an arithmetric mean of 58.7ml/min. There was a tendency for Ccr to decrease as urinary excretion of β2-m increased (r=-0.419; p<0.001). 4) The correlation between TmP/GFR and urinary levels of β2-m was significant (r=-0.508;p< 0.001). The values for TmP/GFR in 27 subjects (31.4%) were below 2.5 mg/dl. 5) The geometric mean value for Cua/Ccr was 27.6% (observed range 13.8 to 90.6%); all values were increased. The correlation between Cua/Ccr and urinary levels ofβ2-m was significant (r=0.692; p< 0.001). 6) A significant negative correlation between the urinary level of β2-m and the bicarbonate concentration in blood in 77 subjects examined was found (r=-0.560; p<0.001). 7) Ahighly significant correlation between urinary glucose and β2-m was found (r=0.775; p<0.001). 8) These results indicate that the inhabitants of the cadmium-polluted Jinzu River basin had multiple proximal renal tubular dysfunction. The urinary levels of β2-m provide a good indicator of the severity of renal tubular dysfunction, showing good correlations between β2-m levels in urine and other indices for evaluating the renal tubular function.
