Description
This test is ordered to screen for excess aluminium levels in the blood. Aluminium is a heavy metal which under normal physiologic conditions gets eliminated through the kidneys. However, people with kidney failure may lose the ability to clear it and may suffer from aluminium toxicity. The test is performed commonly in dialysis patients to screen for aluminium toxicity.
