Cadmium Impairs Albumin Reabsorption by Down-regulating Megalin and ClC5 Channels in Renal Proximal Tubule Cells

BACKGROUND: Cadmium (Cd) is a potent nephrotoxicant that impairs the reabsorptive and secretory functions of the renal proximal tubule, leading to albuminuria. OBJECTIVES: To gain insights into the mechanisms of Cd-induced albuminuria, we investigated effects of Cd on the expression of megalin and c...
