Conclusion
It has been established that the incidence of renal diseases in children in the regions of cement industry is very high, especially regarding dysmetabolic nephropathy, unlike the control region, which shows the significant role of environmental factors in the development of renal damage. The conducted studies of Kudin M.V. (2012) [12] have shown that in children and adults living in the area and having no renal diseases cadmium – toxic element, hazard class 1 – accumulates in kidney tissue, which justifies the use of enterosorbent Enterosgel in persons living in the region as a prophylactic purpose.
Enterosgel not only prevents accumulation of toxic substances into the body by their intestinal adsorption, but also contributes to the removal of heavy metals from the urinary system. Inclusion of Enterosgel in the therapy of children with renal diseases living in the region of cement industry leads to the increased urinary excretion of cadmium, chromium, antimony, and arsenic and improvement of urinary symptoms and, above all, reduction of proteinuria, reflecting improved reabsorption function of the epithelium of proximal tubules.
No undesirable effects have been registered in children receiving Enterosgel.
