Aluminium, Serum

Description

The Aluminium Serum test measures the concentration of aluminum in the blood. This test is crucial for detecting aluminum toxicity or overexposure, which can have serious health implications. It’s particularly important for patients with kidney disease or those undergoing dialysis, as they are at higher risk of aluminum accumulation. Elevated aluminum levels can cause various health issues, including bone and brain disorders. The test is also valuable in occupational health screenings for workers exposed to aluminum in industrial settings. Results help healthcare providers assess the need for interventions to reduce aluminum exposure or implement treatments for aluminum toxicity. Regular monitoring may be recommended for at-risk individuals to prevent long-term health complications associated with aluminum accumulation.
