The aluminum content of the dialysis bath fluid or the aluminum-hydroxide (Al [OH]3) gels taken by dialysis patients are responsible for the hyperalbuminemia and the high aluminum body stores (2, 3). In the past 4 years continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis has been established in the treatment of patients with end-stage renal disease. To our knowledge no information exists on aluminum kinetics in patients thus treated.We have measured serum aluminum and aluminum clearances in...References1. ALFREYLE GENDREKAEHNY AGW.
