Infections, high temperature and many of the toxic substances can cause kidney damage. Acute kidney injury is a well knowncomplication of some work-related diseases, e.g., lead intoxication. Chronic kidney disease can also be caused by some occupationalfactors. Three work-related nephropathies, in which causal connection with work has been proved, are discussed in thisarticle. There are different risk factors of nephrolithiasis, lead nephropathy and silica nephropathy, but each of them can causechronic kidney disease. Prevention of these nephropaties seems to be relatively simple. The principles of protection from the toxiceffects of heavy metals and silica dust are very specific. The most important prevention of kidney stones is correct fluid intake.In addition to providing adequate quantities of drinking water, it is also important to educate exposed workers and assureenough rest breaks at work.
