Intestinal absorption of aluminum

  • Chapter
Aluminum and renal failure

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

Abstract

Aluminum (Al) toxicity is most often related to parenteral exposure by means of haemodialysis with Al-contaminated dialysate. This is understandable because in the past decade convincing evidence was found for a causal relationship between Al in dialysis fluid on the one hand, and encephalopathy, vitamin D-resistant osteomalacia, and normochromic microcytic anemia on the other.
