Dr. Stephen Petteruti
Instructor
With over 15 years of clinical experience in treating patients with heavy-metal exposure
Dr. Stephen Petteruti introduces an oral DMSA protocol developed as a practical and accessible alternative to intravenous chelation.
Chronic lead exposure frequently remains undetected, although it is associated with cardiovascular disease, hypertension, cognitive decline, kidney dysfunction, and neurological injury. This clinical course provides healthcare professionals with a structured framework for assessing lead burden and implementing oral DMSA chelation therapy.
Dr. Stephen Petteruti details the oral DMSA protocol he developed as a more accessible alternative to intravenous chelation.
The course addresses patient selection, exposure history, baseline laboratory evaluation, provocative urine testing, DMSA dosing, N-acetylcysteine (NAC) administration, treatment cycles, management of side effects, and follow-up testing.
