Correction of high serum aluminium in a patient on maintenance haemodialysis.
Withdrawal of oral aluminium hydroxide resulted in a sustained fall of serum aluminium from potentially toxic levels in a patient on maintenance haemodialysis. This result confirms the experience of others, and suggests that this manoeuvre is more appropriate than expensive water treatment in the prevention of aluminium toxicity in patients at risk.
