Special Work Exam

Judgment of each group of items on your web result page.
A

No abnormal findings are found in the results of the special health check-up.

B

The results of the special health check-up do not fall under category C, but there are abnormal findings caused or suspected to be caused by the relevant factor.

C

The results of the special health check-up show abnormal findings that indicate the presence of a disease caused by the relevant factor.

R

As a result of the special health check-up, there is no evidence of abnormal findings caused by the relevant factor, but there is evidence of abnormal findings that may be aggravated by the relevant factor.

T

As a result of special health check-up, abnormal findings caused by causes other than the relevant factor are found (excluding those belonging to category R).

 

Item Reference range Explanation
VC These tests evaluate your lung function.
%VC
FEV1.0
%FEV1.0
Urinary β2-Microglobulin β2-Microglobulin tends to increase in your urine if you have any problems with your kidney, especially renal tubules. Elevated β2- Microglobulin may indicate the severity of cadmium-induced renal impairment.
Urine Sediment Examination or Urine Cytology (Papanicolaou Method) This test may be performed in addition to regular tests if there are any concerns with malignant tumor in your urinary tract system.
Urinary Methylhippuric Acid Below 0.5 g/L It is a metabolite of xylene excreted in your urine and this level demonstrates the degree of your exposure to xylene.
Urinary N-Methylformamide Below 10 mg/L It is a metabolite of N-Dimethylformamide excreted in your urine and this level demonstrates the degree of your exposure to N-Dimethylformamide.
Urinary Mandelic Acid It is a metabolite of styrene and ethylbenzene excreted in your urine and this level demonstrates the degree of your exposure to styrene and ethylbenzene.
Urinary Phenylglyoxylic Acid It is a metabolite of styrene excreted in your urine and this level demonstrates the degree of your exposure to styrene.
Urinary Methyl isobutyl Ketone Below 1.0mg/L This level demonstrates the degree of your exposure to tetrachloroethylene.
Urinary Trichloroacetic Acid Below 3 mg/L

These are metabolites of tetrachloroethylene, trichloroethane and trichloroethylene excreted in your urine and this level in your urine demonstrates the degree of your exposure to those materials.

Total Trichloride in Urine

Handling substance

Tetrachloroethylene Below 10 mg/L
Trichloroethane
Trichloroethylene
Urinary Hippuric Acid Below 1 g/L It is a metabolite of toluene excreted in your urine and this level demonstrates the degree of your exposure to toluene. This level may increase after you take some fruits and juice which contain benzoic acid, which is an intermediate metabolite of toluene.
Urinary 2,5-Hexanedione Below 2 mg/L It is a metabolite of n-hexane excreted in your urine and this level demonstrates the degree of your exposure to n-hexane.
Urinary δ-Aminolevulinic Acid (δALA) Below 5 mg/day δALA is an intermediate metabolite of in heme synthesis and this level demonstrates the degree of your exposure to lead and tetraalkyl lead compounds.
Blood Lead Below 20 μg/100mL This level demonstrates the degree of your exposure to lead and tetra-alkyl lead compounds.
Blood Cadmium Below 0.5μg/dL This level demonstrates the degree of your exposure to cadmium.
Serum Indium This level demonstrates the degree of your exposure to indium. This also reflects the concentration of indium in your lungs.
KL-6 Below 500U/mL Exposure to indium can cause interstitial pneumonitis. So it can be detected by the elevation of KL-6, a marker for interstitial pneumonitis.
Erythropoietic Protoporphyrin Below 40 μg/dL Protoporphyrin is an intermediate metabolite in heme synthesis. This can also indicate the biological effects of lead and tetraalkyl lead compounds.
(Urinary Coproporphyrin) Below 170 μg/g・CRE Coproporphyrin in your urine is an intermediate metabolite in heme synthesis. This can also indicate the biological effects of lead and tetraalkyl lead compounds.
(Basophilic Stippling of Red Blood Cells) It is one of the abnormalities of the red blood cell morphology, characterized by dispersed blue specks (inclusion body) in the cytoplasm. This abnormal cell can be seen in patients with pernicious anemia and anemia due to the exposure to lead, tetraalkyl lead and benzine.
