A trace element that, when in excess, has a negative effect on many metabolic processes and enzyme activity. Most of the pool of this trace element is located in erythrocytes (up to 70-75%). With age, the level of lead in the blood tends to increase. Absorption occurs in the gastrointestinal tract. It is excreted from the body mainly with feces and to a lesser extent with urine.
Increased levels are noted in: anemia, urolithiasis, myocardial infarction, atherosclerosis during the progression of the disease.
A decrease is possible in: liver diseases (hepatitis, cirrhosis), acute and chronic leukemia, rheumatism.
