  • Title: [Dialysis encephalopathy and aluminum poisoning? Correlated clinical, pathologic-anatomic and spectrometric findings].
    Author: Weiller C, Spiegel P, Van de Vijver F.
    Journal: Nervenarzt; 1986 Aug; 57(8):461-4. PubMed ID: 3092120.
    Abstract:
    A case of severe dialysis encephalopathy is reported, in which the autopsy finding of an extensive spongiform change in areas of the cortex directly corresponded to high aluminium-concentration in these areas, supporting the theory of an aetiological role for aluminium. A therapeutic approach combining low aluminium intake and removal of aluminium by a chelating agent (desferrioxamine) is promising, but more precise guidelines are needed.
