    Cadmium exposure in rats caused lung inflammation and bleeding. Kidney damage mimicked human cadmium poisoning, showing proliferative glomerulonephritis, with spleen changes indicating immune cell activity.

    Area of Science:

    • Toxicology
    • Pathology
    • Immunology

    Background:

    • Cadmium is a toxic heavy metal with known adverse health effects.
    • Understanding cadmium's organ-specific toxicity is crucial for human health risk assessment.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the pathological effects of cadmium exposure in a rat model.
    • To characterize the specific organ lesions induced by cadmium, focusing on lungs, spleen, and kidneys.

    Main Methods:

    • Rats were administered cadmium.
    • Histopathological examination of lung, spleen, and kidney tissues was performed.

    Main Results:

    • Rats exhibited interstitial pneumonitis and intraalveolar hemorrhage in the lungs.

  • Splenic examination revealed significant germinal center formation with reactive B-cells.
  • Kidney lesions were consistent with proliferative glomerulonephritis, similar to human cadmium poisoning.

    • Conclusions:

    • Cadmium exposure induces significant lung and kidney pathology in rats.
    • The observed kidney lesions closely resemble human cadmium-induced nephropathy.
    • Immune responses, indicated by splenic B-cell activity, are also affected by cadmium exposure.
