“…Patients on maintenance HD are predisposed to increased risk of trace element imbalance because they have lost the major route of metal excretion and are in close and prolonged contact with an important source of potential systemic exposure, such as dialysis fluid [ 5 ]. However, environmental factors that affect each population should also be considered, due to the well-known differences in trace element levels between countries [ 9 ].…”

The status of essential and toxic trace elements in patients with different stages of chronic kidney disease (CKD) is still unclear and not well characterized. The present study examined the circulatory levels of a wide panel of trace elements (Al, Cr, Mn, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, As, Se, Rb, Sr, Cd, Pb, and U) in hemodialysis patients (HD group) and pre-dialysis patients with stage 3 CKD (PD group). Comparisons were made between groups of patients and healthy individuals from the control group (CG). The levels of Al, Mn, Co, Ni, Cu, As, Se, Sr, and Pb were higher, while the levels of Cr, Zn, Rb, Cd, and U were lower in HD patients than in our CG. Higher levels of Al and Se, as well as lower levels of As, Sr, Zn, Rb, and U were significant and distinguished HD from PD. Among other analyzed elements, Co, Se, and U are the only trace elements that did not distinguish PD from CG at a statistically significant level. The HD group had lower serum U levels than the PD group, and this could be a result of hemodialysis. This study also revealed that the Cu/Zn ratio could be used as a marker for early and late detection of renal failure. Marked changes of essential and toxic trace element levels in sera indicate additional pathophysiological events in CKD, which could additionally contribute to the preexisting increased morbidity of HD patients. Measurement of trace elements in HD patients should be performed routinely. Supplementary Information The online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s12011-021-02940-7.

“…Heavy metals have also been recently detected in major food items, such as rice, vegetables, and meat available in large markets of Bangladesh (Proshad et al 2020;Zakir et al 2020a). A large body of literature indicates that arsenic, zinc, cadmium, copper, chromium, and lead are present at higher concentrations than the maximum tolerable limits (MTLs) set by WHO (Islam et al 2015a;Islam et al 2018a).…”

“…Weak monitoring of entry routes, poor understanding of safety measurements, ignorance of regulatory guidelines, and poor management of industrial effluents are the major causes of environmental and food contamination by hazardous heavy metals in Bangladesh (Shamsudduha et al 2019;Zakir et al 2020a). However, regulatory weaknesses related to heavy metal contamination are not considered a priority in research in Bangladesh.…”

“…In addition, obtaining information about concentration of heavy metals in food and its consumption as rice is very important in assessment of exposure to these elements in human health. Some recent publications have been indicated that ingestion on food contaminated with heavy metals like vegetable, rice was one of main sources of the human exposure to heavy metals [ 6 , 7 ].…”

In this work, twelve heavy metals and arsenic, As, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, Hg, Mn, Ni, Pb, Se, and Zn, in a rice sample collected from some areas of Vietnam have been quantified and implemented by using multiple analytical platforms such as ICP-MS, AAS, and mercury analyser. Seventy rice samples collected from the Red River Delta and mining zone activity were analysed. Concentration of heavy metals and arsenic in rice was analysed after appropriated sample digestion using internal or external calibration curves. The mean concentration (mg kg−1 dried weight) of the analysed elements in rice samples decreased on the order of Mn (19.268) > Fe (13.624) > Zn (8.163) > Cu (3.138) > Ni (0.384) > Cr (0.296) > Co (0.279) > As (0.115) > Cd (0.111) > Pb (0.075) > Hg (0.007) > Se (<LOD). Mercury, a highly toxic element, has been only found in rice samples collected in the mining activity zone (frequency detection 14.5% of total samples). The experimental results indicated that the heavy metals and arsenic found in rice collected from mining activity zone were higher than those in rice harvested from normal cultivated areas like the Red River Delta. The heavy metals and arsenic content in Vietnamese rice samples were also compared with the concentration of heavy metals in other foreign rice samples in some recent publications. The estimated daily intake through rice consumption was calculated and compared with the level proposed by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations. The results indicated that the provisional daily intake of Cd was higher than the level proposed by FAO, while the intake of other heavy metals was in an acceptable range of CODEX standard.
