Clinical Registry of Adverse Effects in the Preparation for Colonoscopy in Patients With Advanced Renal Failure
Bowel preparation for colonoscopy requires the administration of large amounts of fluids that can cause fluid and electrolyte disturbances and volume overload, especially in patients with advanced renal failure. Polyethylene glycol-based regimens are considered safe, even in patients with advanced renal failure. However, the incidence of adverse effects (AEs) in routine clinical practice is unknown. The main objective of this study is to carry out a prospective, observational, multicenter clinical registry of renal AE of the preparation for colonoscopy, in patients with advanced renal failure, within the usual clinical practice of the preparation. Variables related to kidney function, bowel-cleansing efficacy, and tolerance will also be recorded. A segmented analysis will be performed in patients with substitutive renal therapy (hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis).
• Outpatients or hospitalized patients with previously scheduled colonoscopy with any indication: screening, follow-up or symptoms.
• Diagnosis of stage 3B-5D chronic renal failure (creatinine clearance less than 45 ml / min / 1.73 m2).
