Trace elements in uremia and hemodialysis

H H Sandstead

    The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition
    |July 1, 1980

    Area of Science:

    • Clinical Nutrition
    • Toxicology
    • Nephrology

    Background:

    • Patients with renal failure often face complex nutritional challenges.
    • Trace element imbalances, both toxic and nutritional, are a concern in uremia.
    • Dialysis encephalopathy is a serious complication in patients undergoing renal replacement therapy.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review the toxic and nutritional aspects of trace elements in renal failure.
    • To evaluate the role of aluminum toxicity in dialysis encephalopathy.
    • To assess the impact of dietary restrictions on essential trace element nutrition in uremic patients.

    Main Methods:

    • Literature review of existing data on trace elements in renal failure.
    • Analysis of evidence regarding aluminum poisoning and dialysis encephalopathy.
    • Examination of nutritional implications of dietary modifications in uremic patients.

    Main Results:

    • Evidence suggests aluminum poisoning is not solely responsible for dialysis encephalopathy.
    • Dietary restrictions common in uremic patients may lead to deficiencies in essential trace elements.
    • Impaired nutrition of iron, zinc, copper, manganese, and chromium is a potential consequence.

    Conclusions:

    • The etiology of dialysis encephalopathy is likely multifactorial, not solely attributable to aluminum.
    • Nutritional management in renal failure must consider potential deficiencies of vital trace elements.
    • Careful dietary planning is crucial to balance restrictions and ensure adequate trace element intake.
