Role of medication in the level of aluminium in the blood of chronic haemodialysis patients.

Background: Although dialysis facilities provide high-quality water, abnormal aluminium levels among patients on haemodialysis have still been reported. Since patients with chronic kidney disease are often on multiple medications, medicines may be an extra source of aluminium for them. The degree to which ingesting contaminated medication influenced the level of aluminium in the patients' blood was investigated.
