Inflammatory effect of aluminium phosphate

Does oral aluminium cause toxicity? Do oral aluminium phosphate binders cause accumulation of aluminium to toxic levels?

Background We wished to determine the risk of Al toxicity in HD patients receiving Alucaps but never exposed to contaminated dialysate water. Methods HD patients only treated with Reverse Osmosis(RO) treated dialysis water with either current or past exposure to Alucaps were given standardised DFO tests. Post-DFO serum Al level >3.0μmol/L was defined to indicate toxic loads based on previous bo...

Do oral aluminium phosphate binders cause accumulation of aluminium to toxic levels?

BACKGROUND Aluminium (Al) toxicity was frequent in the 1980s in patients ingesting Al containing phosphate binders (Alucaps) whilst having HD using water potentially contaminated with Al. The aim of this study was to determine the risk of Al toxicity in HD patients receiving Alucaps but never exposed to contaminated dialysate water. METHODS HD patients only treated with Reverse Osmosis(RO) tr...

Inhibition of Human Erythrocyte Glucose 6-Phosphate Dehydrogenase by Cadmium, Nickel and Aluminium

Aluminium hydroxide versus sucralfate as a phosphate binder in uraemia.

In an attempt to discover a phosphate binding agent for use in uraemia that would not lead to appreciable systemic absorption of aluminium the effect of sucralfate was evaluated after three weeks and compared with that of the existing standard agent aluminium hydroxide. Sucralfate caused a decrease in serum phosphate concentration comparable with that obtained with aluminium hydroxide, but simi...
