Overview

Edetate calcium disodium is a small molecule chelating agent primarily indicated for the reduction of blood lead levels and the treatment of lead poisoning. In clinical research led by **Chang Gung Memorial Hospital**, it has been investigated for its potential to slow the progression of **chronic renal insufficiency** in non-diabetic patients who possess a high-normal body lead burden. The drug functions by binding to divalent and trivalent heavy metals—most notably lead—to form stable, water-soluble complexes that are subsequently eliminated from the body via urinary excretion. The therapeutic rationale in renal disease is based on the hypothesis that reducing cumulative lead exposure can mitigate chronic lead-induced nephrotoxicity and preserve glomerular filtration rates over time.
