4. Discussion
We examined the relationship between urinary fluoride concentrations and levels of markers of kidney function (urinary NAG, serum RBP, serum Urea, serum C3 serum UA and serum ?1-MG) in a cross-sectional study of endemic fluorosis in China. We found that the levels of urinary NAG and serum Urea increased significantly with the increase of urinary fluoride concentration, urinary fluoride was negatively correlated with C3 in adults. Specifically, an increment of 1 mg/L in urinar
