Understanding Your Results

Aluminium levels in dialysis fluid are interpreted based on established safety limits. Elevated levels indicate potential contamination and risk of aluminium toxicity.
< 10 µg/L: Within safe limits
10-20 µg/L: Elevated, requires monitoring and corrective action
> 20 µg/L: High risk, immediate action needed to prevent toxicity
⚠️ When to Consult a Doctor:

If symptoms of aluminium toxicity appear, such as confusion, seizures, or bone pain, or if test results show elevated aluminium levels.
