Serum aluminum

Aluminum (Aluminium) is a silver-white or light gray light metal. Atomic weight is 26.98, specific gravity is 2.7, melting point is 660 ° C, boiling point is 2467 ° C. Aluminum and aluminum alloys have good ductility. Because aluminum has excellent physical and chemical properties, it is widely used in industry, medicine and daily life. Studies on aluminum toxicity in the past two or three decades have revealed that aluminum is a low-toxic, accumulative harmful substance with neurotoxicity and bone toxicity. The harm of aluminum to the human body mainly comes from occupational aluminum exposure and patients with renal failure who have undergone long-term dialysis treatment with antacid-containing aluminum hydroxide gel.
