Abstract
Some of the toxic and nutritional aspects of trace elements in patients with renal failure are reviewed. Data are presented that tend to disprove the hypothesis that aluminum poisoning alone is responsible for dialysis encephalopathy. Possible dietary restrictions imposed in uremic patients may impair iron, zinc, copper, manganese, or chromium nutriture.Keywords
