Deferoxamine and aluminum clearance in pediatric hemodialysis patients

Abstract

Mobilization of aluminum by deferoxamine and the subsequent clearance from plasma by hemodialysis with or without charcoal hemofiltration was studied in four pediatric patients. Deferoxamine, 10-20 mg/kg, followed by dialysis with a Travenol CA50 dialyzer produced reductions in mean plasma aluminum levels from 2433 +/- 729 nmol/l (65.5 +/- 19.6 micrograms/l) to 1727 +/- 554 nmol/l (46.5 +/- 14.9 micrograms/l) during dialysis. The use of a charcoal cartridge in the circuit resulted in a reduction in mean plasma aluminum levels 2459 +/- 591 nmol/l (66.2 +/- 15.9 micrograms/ml) to 1380 +/- 106 nmol/l (35.8 +/- 2.9 micrograms/l). In one patient, high-flux dialysis produced a reduction from 2140 nmol/l (55.6 micrograms/l) to 1134 nmol/l (29.4 micrograms/l). No patients suffered direct adverse reactions to low-dose deferoxamine, although two patients had previously exhibited potential aluminum neurotoxicity after rapid increases in plasma aluminum levels with deferoxamine in higher doses. Aluminum levels must be monitored closely during deferoxamine therapy in uremic children to minimize the risk of exacerbating aluminum neurotoxicity.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
