01. A Somewhat Smelly Case of Antiperspirant Choice and Aluminum Toxicity

Aluminum is a non-nutrient contaminant of parenteral nutrition (PN) solution. Reducing PN additives high in aluminum is the most effective way to decrease aluminum exposure and risk of toxicity. Understanding the aluminum content of PN additives and potential external sources, is vital in reducing aluminum exposure and preventing aluminum toxicity in long-term PN patients.

Learning Objectives

Analyze aluminum contributions within PN formulations.

Identify ancillary sources of aluminum exposure.

Describe clinical implications of aluminum accumulation and recognize indicators warranting evaluation for aluminum toxicity.
