Aluminium Blood Test (Serum Aluminium)
Detect aluminium exposure before symptoms take hold.
What’s tested
Pick a time
The Aluminium Blood Test measures the concentration of aluminium in your bloodstream. It is used to investigate suspected exposure to aluminium, which can occur through dialysis, certain medications, industrial settings, or contaminated food and water. This test is particularly relevant for individuals with chronic kidney disease, those undergoing long-term dialysis, and workers in industries where aluminium exposure is a risk. It helps clinicians assess whether elevated aluminium levels may be contributing to symptoms such as bone pain, anaemia, or neurological changes.
Why it matters
Aluminium is a toxic metal that can accumulate in the body, especially when kidney function is impaired. Early detection of elevated aluminium levels allows for timely intervention, which may include reducing exposure, adjusting medications, or initiating chelation therapy. This test provides essential information to guide clinical decisions and protect long-term health.
