After six years of home haemodialysis and two years of continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis a 59-year-old woman developed an aluminium-induced osteopathy, myopathy and normochromic anaemia. She was at first treated with intravenous, then peritoneal, deferoxamine, 1 g every other day. Before treatment, 15.8 micrograms aluminium (Al) had been eliminated daily, with a peritoneal clearance of 0.3 ml/min; after intravenous deferoxamine a mean of 774.3 +/- 102.3 micrograms Al was eliminated per day, after peritoneal deferoxamine 646.7 +/- 89.6 micrograms of Al per day, with a peritoneal clearance of 2.2 +/- 0.9 (intravenous) and 1.9 +/- 0.7 ml/min (intraperitoneal). After four months of deferoxamine administration, mostly intraperitoneally as an out-patient, the osteomalacia clearly improved, as did the myopathy and anaemia.
