Aluminum, Plasma or Serum Test

This test is used to monitor patients for prior and ongoing exposure to aluminum. Patients at risk include:

• infants on parenteral fluids, particularly parenteral nutrition
• burn patients through administration of intravenous albumin, particularly with coexisting renal failure
• adult and pediatric patients with chronic renal failure who accumulate aluminum readily from medications and dialysate
• adult parenteral nutrition patients
• patients with industrial exposure

This test is also used to monitor dialysate and water to prepare dialysate to prevent aluminum toxicity in dialysis patients.

A significant deviation from the normal range may require further evaluation by your physician.
