Disease Features aluminium bone disease
Absence or low individual and public risk
Aluminium bone disease - what does this mean
Aluminium bone disease is a condition caused by the accumulation of aluminium in the bones. it is caused by long-term exposure to aluminium-containing products, such as antacids, dialysis fluids, and other medications, and can lead to bone pain, fractures, and other skeletal abnormalities.
What happens during the disease - aluminium bone disease
Aluminium bone disease is caused by the accumulation of aluminium in the bones, which interferes with the normal mineralization process. this leads to abnormal bone structure and strength, as well as increased risk of fractures. the main source of aluminium is from dietary sources, such as aluminium-containing antacids, processed foods, and drinking water. other sources of aluminium include occupational exposure, dialysis, and certain medical treatments.

How does a doctor diagnose
- Complete physical examination
- Blood tests
- Urine tests
- X-ray imaging
- Bone density tests
- Bone biopsy
- CT scan
- MRI scan
Treatment and Medical Assistance
Main Goal: To reduce the amount of aluminium in the bones.
- Avoiding contact with aluminium-containing products
- Reducing dietary aluminium intake
- Increasing dietary intake of calcium, magnesium, and phosphorus
- Taking aluminium-binding agents such as cholestyramine or deferoxamine
- Using chelation therapy to remove aluminium from the body
- Using medications to reduce aluminium absorption
- Using vitamin D and other supplements to increase bone mineral density
- Undergoing physical therapy to reduce pain and improve mobility
23 Days of Hospitalization Required
Average Time for Outpatient Care Not Established
Aluminium bone disease - Prevention
Aluminium bone disease can be prevented by avoiding excessive aluminium exposure, including avoiding aluminium-containing antacids and avoiding drinking from aluminium cans, as well as reducing the use of aluminium cookware and utensils. additionally, it is important to maintain a balanced diet with adequate calcium and phosphorus to ensure bone health.
