Elevated tissue aluminum levels contribute to the development of the dialysis encephalopathy and osteomalacia syndromes Small amounts of aluminum are absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract and renal excretion of aluminum is impaired in renal failure Aluminum is not well removed by dialysis because it is bound to albumin and transferrin, which do not cross dialysis membranes. As a result aluminum is deposited in bone and dialysis osteomalacia may develop when large anounts of aluminum are ingested orally by patients with impaired renal function . Aluminum forms insoluble complexes with phosphate in the gastrointestinal tract . Prolonged use of aluminum containing antacids by normophosphafemic patients may result in hypophosphatemia if phosphate intake is not adequate.
