Study of trace elements in patients on haemodialysis.

L Löcsey, L Papp

    International Urology and Nephrology
    |January 1, 1983

    Summary

    Serum levels of zinc and copper decrease with dialysis frequency, while iron and aluminum increase. Prolonged dialysis further alters these essential mineral levels, highlighting potential toxicity risks.

    Area of Science:

    • Nephrology
    • Clinical Chemistry
    • Trace Element Analysis

    Background:

    • Hemodialysis patients often experience altered trace element levels.
    • Monitoring essential minerals and toxic metals is crucial for patient health.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the impact of hemodialysis frequency and duration on serum levels of aluminum, zinc, copper, and iron.
    • To assess potential risks associated with altered trace element concentrations in hemodialysis patients.

    Main Methods:

    • Serum samples from hemodialysis patients were analyzed.
    • Atomic absorption spectrometry and spectrophotometry were employed for elemental quantification.

    Main Results:

    • Serum zinc and copper concentrations decreased with increased dialysis frequency.
    • Serum iron and aluminum levels showed an increase with dialysis frequency.
    • Over time, serum zinc decreased, while iron, copper, and aluminum increased with the duration of dialysis.

    Conclusions:

    • Hemodialysis significantly alters trace element homeostasis.
    • Increased aluminum levels pose a risk of intoxication.
    • Decreased copper and zinc levels may lead to deficiency-related complications.
