We propose a new method for measuring aluminium in bone tissue, using argon plasma emission spectrophotometry. The detection limit in the bone nitric digestion liquid was 0.015 mumol/l (corresponding to 0.0075 mumol/g, i.e. 0.2 microgram/g for a tissue sample with 1.0 g wet weight). Within-run CVs were 4.66% and 1.43% for tissues containing 0.15 and 0.64 mumol/g, respectively. Other bone constituents such as calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, sodium, potassium, do not affect aluminum results. Normal values obtained in bone of subjects not suspected of aluminium intoxication were: mean +/- SD; 0.09 +/- 0.044 mumol/g (n = 24). In dialysis patients we found a mean bone aluminium content of 0.75 mumol/g for concentrations ranging between 0.16 and 3.38 mumol/g.

D002118 Calcium A basic element found in nearly all tissues. It is a member of the alkaline earth family of metals with the atomic symbol Ca, atomic number 20, and atomic weight 40. Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the body and combines with phosphorus to form calcium phosphate in the bones and teeth. It is essential for the normal functioning of nerves and muscles and plays a role in blood coagulation (as factor IV) and in many enzymatic processes.
