EDTA

Is anyone involved with known or suspected cases of lead nephropathy? Specifically, is anyone using EDTA for determining body lead burden and/or chelating? If so, where are you getting your EDTA? Versenate, US's product (3M), is apparently no longer manufactured and Ledclair, UK's product, is awaiting approval for a new formulation. So what are Canadian nephrologist's using? Any info. would be greatly appreciated.
