NOTES TO PHYSICIAN - Manifestation of aluminum toxicity include hypercalcemia, anemia, Vitamin D refractory osteodystrophy and a progressive encephalopathy (mixed dysarthria-apraxia of speech, asterixis, tremulousness, myoclonus, dementia, focal seizures). Bone pain, pathological fractures and proximal myopathy can occur. - Symptoms usually develop insidiously over months to years (in chronic renal failure patients) unless dietary aluminum loads are excessive. - Serum aluminum levels above 60ug/ml indicate increased absorption. Potential toxicity occurs above 100 ug/ml and clinical symptoms are present when levels exceed 200 ug/ml. - Deferoxamine has been used to treat dialysis encephalopathy and osteomalacia. CaNa2EDTA is less effective in chelating aluminum. [Ellenhorn and Barceloux: Medical Toxicology].
