LOINC description : Normally concentrations of silver in human tissues are low. Overexposure can cause
silver to accumulate in the skin, liver, kidneys, corneas, gingiva, mucous membranes,
nails and spleen. The adverse effects of chronic exposure to silver are a permanent
bluish-gray discoloration of the skin (argyria) or eyes (argyrosis). Besides argyria
and argyrosis, exposure to soluble silver compounds may produce other toxic effects,
including liver and kidney damage, irritation of the eyes, skin, respiratory, and
intestinal tract, and changes in blood cells.[PMID: 15964881];
