Heavy Metal Exposure and Toxicity

Manganese is vital in human nutrition. When oral intake is precluded, the recommended parenteral supplementation is 0.15 to 0.8 mg/day. Manganese is excreted primarily in the bile; during cholestasis, serum manganese levels may rise, and manganese toxicity ensue. Neuropsychiatric symptoms are prominent. Phenothiazine‐derivative drugs may potentiate manganese toxicity. Serum or whole blood manganese levels should guide manganese therapy in jaundiced patients.
