Cadmium levels in blood

2017-03-26 10:19:36
Hello, I just had my health check done. The only parameters that were imbalanced is cadmium level which is 2.43 and GFR (glomerular filtration rate) of 87. The last time i did my health check was in September 2016 when the cadmium level was 0.54 how do i bring down these levels in my body? Also should i do anything about the gfr? One doctor said just drink more water during the day. Please suggest.

Hi The normal range of cadmium levels in body is 0.5 to 2ng/ml. You have a borderline high range. The remedy is to drink atleast 4 to 5 litres of water per day to improve kidney functions and to prevent kidney damage. Please feel free to write back to me. Regards Dr Prashik Meshram
