Further information

Lead produces a brittleness of the red blood cells so that they haemolyse with but little trauma. This increased fragility results in the red cells being destroyed more rapidly than normal, leading to an anaemia which is rarely severe. The loss of circulating red cells stimulates the production of new young cells which are then acted upon by the circulating lead resulting in basophilic stippling. There is no uniform opinion on the effects of lead upon the white blood cells. Autopsies of deaths attributed to lead poisoning and experimental findings on animals have shown pathological lesions of the kidneys, liver, male gonads, nervous system, blood vessels and other tissues. None of these changes, however, have been found consistently.
