Whole body aluminium in chronic renal failure and dialysis encephalopathy. 1980

E D Williams, and H L Elliott, and K Boddy, and J K Haywood, and I S Henderson, and I Harvey, and A C Kennedy

Whole body calcium, phosphorus and nitrogen have been measured by in vivo neutron activation analysis in patients with chronic renal failure, including 9 with dialysis encephalopathy. Aluminium was also activated by this procedure, but to the same radioactive product as that from phosphorus: its presence was therefore detected as an increase in the apparent total body phosphorus above that expected for a person with the same calcium content. Patients with dialysis encephalopathy had slightly more apparent phosphorus than others with chronic renal failure, although the difference was not statistically significant. This difference corresponded to an excess of aluminium not greater than 3.3 g(95% confidence limit) which places an upper limit on excess aluminium accumulation in this condition.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007676 Kidney Failure, Chronic The end-stage of CHRONIC RENAL INSUFFICIENCY. It is characterized by the severe irreversible kidney damage (as measured by the level of PROTEINURIA) and the reduction in GLOMERULAR FILTRATION RATE to less than 15 ml per min (Kidney Foundation: Kidney Disease Outcome Quality Initiative, 2002). These patients generally require HEMODIALYSIS or KIDNEY TRANSPLANTATION.
