PESTAB. Organochlorine pesticide levels were examined in chronic hemodialysis patients, since the dialysis patient is exposed to considerably greater quantities of water than normal individuals and therefore this pesticide burden might be altered. The lack of kidney function might also alter pesticide metabolism. The plasma levels of the three pesticides studied were statistically the same for the dialysis patients prior to a six-hour dialysis session, for dialysis patients at the end of this period, and for controls, averaging about 1.2, 3.5, and 16 ppb for DDE, DDT, and PCP. Dietary restrictions of dialysis patients might account for the differences in pesticide levels reported in other studies.
