This study aims to assess the impact of occupational exposure to chemicals used in artisanal gold mining, particularly mercury and cyanide, on kidney function among traditional gold miners in Delgo area, Northern State, Sudan. The study evaluates renal function parameters and electrolyte levels and examines their association with duration of mining exposure by comparing exposed miners with a non-exposed control group. General Objective: To evaluate the effect of occupational exposure to mercury and cyanide on kidney function among artisanal gold mining workers. The study is expected to reveal significantly elevated serum creatinine and urea levels
