| Abstract: | In patients with chronic renal failure, on treatment with haemodialysis, clinical symptoms may develop, which are associated with abnormally high levels of aluminium in the blood and tissues. Such patients are exposed to aluminium via the dialysate fluid, from dietary sources, and from the ingestion of aluminium-containing antacids given to reduce phosphate absorption in the gut. Serum and plasma are now established as the most suitable body fluids for monitoring aluminium levels in these patients. |
