Surveillance Methods for Solvent-Related Hepatotoxicity, a Cross-Sectional Study at Hanford
The purpose of this cross-sectional study at the Hanford Nuclear Reservation was to establish a scientific basis for surveillance of hepatic
effects in solvent exposed workers. One hundred industrial painters exposed subacutely and chronically to a variety of solvent mixtures over their
working careers were compared with a referent group of 100 nonexposed carpenters matched by age, gender and race. The study examined the hypothesis
that solvent-related hepatic injury is characterized by parenchymal changes of steatosis and fibrosis without associated necrotic changes, which are
detected by elevated hepatic transaminases in blood.
