Abstract
When Aluminium (Al) was found to be involved with the pathogenesis of dialysis encephalopathy, the contaminated dialysate was the predominant source of poison (Alfrey et al. 1976). However, nowadays the oral route seems to be of equal importance in uremic patients who are ingesting large doses of Al-containing, phosphate binding gels. This may be particularly true in Al-related bone disease. Furthermore, it seems possible that the intestinal absorption of Al from ordinary dietary sources may be enhanced in the uremic state.
