Plasma Vitamin B<sub>12</sub> and Folate Alter the Association of Blood Lead and Cadmium and Total Urinary Arsenic Levels with Chronic Kidney Disease in a Taiwanese Population

Heavy metals causing chronic nephrotoxicity may play a key role in the pathogenesis of chronic kidney disease (CKD). This study hypothesized that plasma folate and vitamin B<sub>12</sub> would modify the association of CKD with total urinary arsenic and blood lead and cadmium levels. We...
