[Kidney failure patients undergoing hemodialysis with aluminum poisoning after renal transplantation: electro-clinical aspects].
A renal transplantation was performed on 6 dialysis patients using high concentration aluminum water. The post-graft course in 3 patients led to the appearance of worsening or neurological symptoms, with associated deterioration on the EEG. In 3 other patients there was progressive improvement in clinical signs, though with long-term persistance of electrical abnormalities in 1 case. These 6 cases are compared with 10 dialysis patients without aluminum intoxication who underwent renal transplantation in the same conditions. These results are then analyzed with reference to those already published in the literature. Three factors (length of exposure, water aluminum concentration and seizure disorder) seem significant to the prognosis of renal transplantation in patients with aluminum intoxication.
