Further information
Persons exhibiting the condition of generalised argyria, and who subsequently died from unrelated disease, showed, on autopsy, a deposition of silver in the blood vessel walls, kidneys, testes, pituitary, choroid plexus, and mucous membranes of the nose, maxillary antra, trachea, and bronchi. Once deposited, there is no known method by which the silver can be eliminated; the pigmentation is permanent and usually noticeable in the conjunctiva of the eye first.
