A Prospective Assessment of Renal Impairment After Preparation for Colonoscopy: Oral Sodium Phosphate Appears to Be Safe in Well-Hydrated Subjects with Normal Renal Status
Digestive Diseases and Sciences, 10/21/09
Korsten MA et al. – Renal failure was not detected after the use of OSPS for colonoscopy preparation in subjects with recently documented normal renal function who were able to consume the required amounts of water after each dose. However, based on the number of subjects studied, the theoretical risk of this complication is still between 0 and 6.3%. Thus, it is appreciated that only a very large prospective trial would have yielded a more accurate estimate of the likelihood of renal compromise after OSPS.
