A deodorant item by gillette states that if one has kidney disease, consult a doctor. why does it have an effect on kidney functions? thanks.

Aluminum: Deodorants contain aluminum, which can build up if kidneys are not fully functional. Aluminum build up can become toxic. The risk from deodorant is very very low.
