Reciprocity of Fluoride With Kidney And Liver in Adolescent

There is one study surfaced in today's dentistry by Mount Sanai researchers in environment international which gave information about the relation of fluoride in tap water and blood with kidney and liver in an adolescent.

As we all aware that the fluoridation source in India is fluoridated water. Fluoride exposure in animals and adults has been associated with kidney and liver toxicity, this study examined the potential effects of chronic low –level exposure among youths.

Findings of this study show the exposure to fluoride may contribute to complex changes in kidney and liver function among youth. Findings also suggest that adolescent with poorer kidney or liver function may absorb more fluoride in their bodies.

A Child’s body excretes only 45% of fluoride in urine via the kidney, while an adult’s body clear it at a rate of 60% and the kidney accumulates more fluoride than any other organ in the body. As we all already aware or heard the beneficial effect of fluoride on the appropriateness of its widespread addition to drinking water or salt.

The study analysed fluoride measures in blood samples of an adolescent. Although the tap water fluoride concentration was generally low, there are several mechanisms by which even low levels of exposure may contribute to kidney or liver dysfunction.

Study shows a dose-dependent relationship between fluoride and indicators of kidney and liver function. This study also suggested that if the findings would be same with other studies on different population then it would be important to consider children’s kidney and liver function in drafting public health guidance and recommendation of fluoride.

Potential health side effects include renal system damage, liver damage, thyroid dysfunction, bone and tooth disease and impaired protein metabolism.
