Abstract

Presently, aluminum utensils are widely used in the world, especially in the developing countries. However, whether aluminum leaching from such utensils contributes to aluminum accumulation or causes any damage in patients with renal disease remains unknown. We designed a prospective study to evaluate this problem. After excluding patients who were not examined at follow-up or who poorly complied during the study period, the opened randomized study consisted of 42 patients with chronic renal insufficiency (creatinine clearance 10 mL/min). All patients had not taken any aluminum-containing agents for 3 months, but used aluminum kitchen utensils for more than 1 year. Twelve patients comprised the control group; the other 30 patients comprised the study group. The aluminum kitchen utensils used by the study group patients were replaced with stainless steel utensils for 3 months, but those used by the control group were not. After 3 months, the decrements of serum aluminum (5.5 +/- 4.6 microg/L v 2.1 +/- 3.5 microg/L; P = 0.012) and daily urine aluminum excretion (14.3 +/- 15.2 microg/d v 2.1 +/- 5.6 microg/d; P = 0.005) in the study group patients were greater than those in the control group patients. The increments of transferrin saturation of the study group patients (1.8% +/- 9.5% v -3.7% +/- 9.5%; P = 0.052) were greater than those of the control group patients. In addition, the increments of iron (r = 0.368, P = 0.035) and transferrin saturation (r = 0.345, P = 0.049) posit…

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.
