Lead Poisoning (Lead Toxicity) | Sources, Pathophysiology, Signs & Symptoms, Diagnosis, Treatment
Lead Poisoning (also known as Lead Toxicity) is a condition involving exposure and increased levels of lead in the blood. Lead is a heavy metal that is found throughout the environment. However, lead has no physiological function, and exposure to lead can lead to both reversible and irreversible health effects. In this lesson, we discuss some of the sources of lead (environmental and occupational), how lead causes health issues, signs and symptoms of lead poisoning, how it’s diagnosed and how it’s treated.
