Selenium Disease Interactions
There are 2 disease interactions with selenium.
Chromium/selenium/zinc (applies to selenium) renal dysfunction
Moderate Potential Hazard, Moderate plausibility.
The trace metals, chromium and zinc, are excreted primarily in the urine. Selenium is partially excreted in the urine. Supplemental doses of these agents may need to be adjusted, reduced, or omitted in patients with renal dysfunction.
Trace metals (applies to selenium) malabsorption syndromes
Moderate Potential Hazard, Moderate plausibility.
The trace metals manganese, chromium, copper, selenium, and zinc are absorbed in the GI tract from dietary sources and following administration of oral supplements. GI absorption may be decreased in patients with malabsorption syndromes. Therefore, larger dosages may be required when these supplements are given orally. Parenteral administration may be appropriate.
