Cadmium levels in blood
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
