Title: Aluminum accumulation in children on chronic dialysis: predictive value of serum aluminum levels and desferrioxamine infusion test. Author: Roodhooft AM, van de Vyver FL, D'Haese PC, van Acker KJ, Visser WJ, de Broe ME. Journal: Clin Nephrol; 1987 Sep; 28(3):125-9. PubMed ID: 3665205. Abstract: In 7 children on chronic dialysis the correlation between serum aluminum, aluminum after desferrioxamine (DFO) challenge and bone aluminum was studied. In children the DFO challenge test is not superior to the serum aluminum level for the estimation of aluminum body burden. A significant correlation between serum aluminum and bone aluminum content was found. In all children, except one, aluminum bone content was markedly elevated.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
