Renal osteodystrophy in patients on long-term hemodialysis with fluoridated water

July 1971 | Fluoride | Posen GA, Marier JR, Jaworski E. | 4(3):114-28.
In our hemodialysis center, opened in April 1964, fluoridated dialysis began with the fluoridation of the city water supply in November 1965. Our subsequent therapeutic failure was completely unexpected and a possible explanation was suggested by the observation of Taves et al. that the serum fluoride levels in patients chronically hemodialyzed with fluoridated water are comparable to those that cause fluorotic bone disease. Thus, the study of fluoride levels in our patients became of particular
