The extent to which chronic dialysis alters the serum copper and manganese content was examined. The copper content was not significantly altered, whereas the level of manganese in the blood rose highly significantly. This manganese originates from the dialysis fluid. The behaviour of the manganese level during dialysis treatment suggests that the element is deposited in the body. Its transport is clearly connected with protein, since the manganese is not found in the ultrafiltrate. The is no fear of manganese intoxication.
