Globally, the agricultural occupations have been associated with the emergence of chronic kidney disease of unknown etiology (CKDu) primarily in outdoor worker populations. The disease has also been reported in immigrants in the United States who work in agricultural occupations, but little research has been done outside of agricultural workers to determine whether immigrants who work other occupations are at risk for developing CKDu.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This study assessed the self-reported occupational histories of undocumented immigrants receiving frequent, emergent-only dialysis in Atlanta, GA. We assessed demographics, employment status, and work history, using the Grady Dialysis Questionnaire and the Occupational\/Environmental Health History Form.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Fifty undocumented immigrants receiving frequent, emergent-only hemodialysis were recruited for this study. The average age was 49.5 years ( SD \u00b1 11.5), and the majority (52%) were female and originated from Mexico (66%). A majority (74%) reported having worked in the past 5 years and 28% reported currently working. A total of 68 unique jobs were reported. In decreasing order of frequency, our sample worked in occupations with documented renal toxicant exposures, such as applying pesticides in landscaping, heat exposure in agriculture, construction, landscaping, and dry cleaning, and lead paint fumes in construction.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Discussion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Occupational histories provide a greater understanding of the exposures and working conditions of those receiving frequent, emergent-only hemodialysis. This exploratory study suggests that further research is needed to investigate and assess whether renal toxicants are associated with occupations with high numbers of undocumented workers.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Application to Practice:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A detailed and thorough occupational history should be conducted from those receiving frequent, emergent-only hemodialysis. Developing continuing education for nursing and medical staff in dialysis centers on taking an occupational history, mandatory State reporting requirements, and hazard communication training for workers should be considered. Collaborations between occupational health professionals, public health authorities, employers, dialysis providers, and clinicians who see undocumented workers is required to understand and develop appropriate prevention measures for this population.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/21650799211060695","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,2,3]],"date-time":"2022-02-03T06:35:57Z","timestamp":1643870157000},"page":"251-258","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":11,"title":["Using Occupational Histories to Assess Heat Exposure in Undocumented Workers Receiving Emergent Renal Dialysis in Georgia"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"70","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4471-8885","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Daniel J.","family":"Smith","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Emory University Nell Hodgson Woodruff School of Nursing"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8836-4540","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Valerie","family":"Mac","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Emory University Nell Hodgson Woodruff School of Nursing"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Lisa M.","family":"Thompson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Emory University Nell Hodgson Woodruff School of Nursing"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Laura","family":"Plantinga","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Medicine, Emory University"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Lauren","family":"Kasper","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Grady Health System"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Vicki S.","family":"Hertzberg","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Emory University Nell Hodgson Woodruff School of Nursing"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,2,3]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-21650799211060695","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3390\/ijerph17113775"},{"key":"bibr2-21650799211060695","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jen.2019.02.002"},{"key":"bibr3-21650799211060695","unstructured":"Bureau of Labor Statistics.
