The metabolism of aluminum

  • Chapter
Aluminum and renal failure

Part of the book series: Developments in Nephrology ((DINE,volume 26))

Abstract

The knowledge of the aluminum metabolism has been acquired slowly over the years. This is mainly due to the lack of radioactive aluminum isotopes suitable for metabolic studies. Radioactive aluminum isotopes show either very short (28 Al: 2.3 min) or very long (26Al: 7.4 x 105 years) half-lifes. The only non-radioactive aluminum isotope is the naturally occurring 27Al.
