Kidney dysfunction was clinically diagnosed in 9 of 103 individuals in a gold mining population in Peru (Yard et al. 2012). Those reporting kidney dysfunction had higher urine total Hg concentrations [geometric mean (GM) = 12.0 μg/g-creatinine] than those not reporting kidney dysfunction (GM = 5.1 μg/g-creatinine; p < 0.05).
