Popis: In 7 children on chronic dialysis the correlation between serum aluminum, aluminum after desferrioxamine (DFO) challenge and bone aluminum was studied. In children the DFO challenge test is not superior to the serum aluminum level for the estimation of aluminum body burden. A significant correlation between serum aluminum and bone aluminum content was found. In all children, except one, aluminum bone content was markedly elevated.
