Abstract

Serum and corpuscular nickel and zinc concentrations in 30 chronic hemodialysis patients were examined. Serum nickel and zinc levels before dialysis were 0.22 ± 0.03 μg/dl (normal value: 0.56 ± 0.08 μg/dl) and 70.0 ± 13.4 μg/dl (normal value: 96 ± 8 μg/dl) low, respectively. However, corpuscular nickel and zinc levels before dialysis were high: 1.25 ± 0.24 μg/dl (normal value: 0.88 ± 0.17 μg/dl) and 1,299 ± 146 μg/dl (normal value: 1,120 ± 80 μg/dl). Serum zinc levels significantly increased after dialysis, but serum nickel concentrations did not significantly increase during dialysis. Corpuscular nickel and zinc concentrations did not significantly change during dialysis.
