Analytical problems encountered in determining aluminum status from hair in controls and hemodialyzed patients.

The problems involved in evaluating aluminum concentrations in hair are reviewed, especially those concerning removal of contaminating metals, a critical factor. In the few published studies of Al concentrations in hair, acetone was usually used for its removal. Here, its use in the washing sequence was found to give less precise results and higher Al values than the use of isopropanol. With isopropanol, the whole analysis can be done in a single tube. We compared results with those in the literature. We found that the Al concentration in the hair of control subjects was not related to sex or hair color and that there was a highly significant (P less than 0.001) difference between values for control subjects and hemodialyzed patients: 126 (SD 58) nmol/g, n = 49, vs 226 (SD 104) nmol/g, n = 39, respectively.[1]
