Abstract
Low i.v. doses of cadmium chloride (15 micrograms Cd) given to pullets resulted in a significant reduction in urine flow (UF), glomerular filtration rate (GFR) and effective renal plasma flow (ERPF). However, in hens treated with the heavy metal chelate FeNa EDTA prior to cadmium treatment no oliguria or reduction in GFR or ERPF was observed. It is suggested that the renal changes following the i.v. administration of cadmium to diuretic hens and alleviated in hens primed with the heavy metal chelate may result from changes in glomerular hemodynamics.
