Patient's question:
I am 36 years old this year. Recently, I feel unwell, sometimes dizzy during the day, and it affects my work. I can't sleep at night, and the medicine I took doesn't work well. How much lead is normal for a two-year-old baby?Doctor's answer:
Lead levels generally reach L30～50 μg/dL (1.44～2.4 μmol/L) to be diagnostically significant. In children, blood lead levels exceeding 60 μg/dL (2.88 μmol/L) may manifest obvious neurological damage symptoms and signs. If blood lead levels persistently remain above 1.92 μmol/L (40 μg/dL), varying degrees of neurological damage may occur.
