Brief Summary

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).

Detailed Description

Introduction: Bowel preparation for colonoscopy requires the administration of large amounts of fluids that can cause fluid and electrolyte alterations and volume overload, especially in patients with advanced renal failure. Routine clinical practice of bowel preparation with polyethylene glycol-based regimens, including in patients with advanced renal failure, is considered safe. The hydroelectrolytic AEs and worsening of renal failure are generally mild and transient. However, the incidence of AEs in routine clinical practice is unknown, because there is no prospective record of the incidence of renal AEs in these patients.

Objectives:

1. Principal. To carry out a clinical registry of the renal AEs of the preparation for colonoscopy, in patients with advanced renal failure, within the usual clinical practice of the preparation.

2. Secondary:

* Study the efficacy of intestinal cleansing using the Boston bowel preparation scale.

* Study the patient-reported experience measures (PREMs) in terms of tolerability and acceptance of bowel preparation.

Study of the population and sample size: Outpatients with a scheduled colonoscopy for any indication and with moderate or severe renal impairment. Ages: 18-80, excluding partial colectomy, severe constipation, active intestinal disease, severe heart or liver failure, pregnancy or lactation, and refusal to authorize the clinical record of information. We calculated a sample size of 237 subjects to show an incidence of renal AD of 10%, with a precision of 4%.

Methods: Identify patients with a scheduled colonoscopy who present advanced renal failure, in the 60 days prior to the colonoscopy. Carry out a prospective, observational, multicenter clinical registry of the routine clinical practice of preparation for colonoscopy. Variables related to renal function, the efficacy of intestinal cleansing, and tolerance will be recorded. A segmented analysis will be performed in patients with substitutive renal therapy (hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis). The data will be collected on the REDCap-AEG online platform, which can be accessed by researchers from each center through an identification code, respecting the current Organic Law on Data Protection.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Global incidence of renal adverse effects (AEs)3 hours to 7 days after laxative intake

Global incidence of renal adverse effects (AEs) (yes/no) if any of the following variables have an abnormal value in serum: sodium, potassium, calcium, chloride, bicarbonate, creatinine, or the glomerular filtrate rate calculated with the MDRD formula and the CKD-EPI formula.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Serum creatinine concentration3 hours to 7 days after laxative intake

Any abnormal value in serum creatinine concentration.

Serum potasium concentration3 hours to 7 days after laxative intake

Any abnormal value in serum potasium concentration.

Adequate bowel cleansing for colonoscopyAt the moment of colonoscopy

Application of the Boston Bowel Preparation Scale to evaluate colonoscopy bowel cleansing. The efficacy of bowel preparation will be rated by blinded endoscopists using the Boston Bowel Preparation Scale (BBPS). Adequate bowel cleansing will be defined as a BBPS of 2 or more points in every segment of the colon and inadequate bowel cleansing will be defined by at least one of the colon segments with less than 2 points.

Serum bicarbonate concentration3 hours to 7 days after laxative intake

Any abnormal value in serum bicarbonate concentration.

Serum phosphorus concentration3 hours to 7 days after laxative intake

Any abnormal value in serum phosphorus concentration.

Need of urgent consultation3 hours to 7 days after laxative intake

Number of participants requiring medical consultation for kidney related problems, including emergency room or nephrologist consultation.

Serum sodium concentration3 hours to 7 days after laxative intake

Any abnormal value in serum sodium concentration.

Serum ionized calcium concentration3 hours to 7 days after laxative intake

Any abnormal value in serum ionized calcium concentration.

Blood pH3 hours to 7 days after laxative intake

Blood pH measurement

Hemoglobin concentration3 hours to 7 days after laxative intake

Mean corpuscular hemoglobin

Adhrence to laxative intake3-5 hours after laxative intake (at the colonoscopy appointment)

Adhrence to laxative intake recorded as \>75% of the quantity of laxative intake reported in a questionarie administered with the help of an investigator.

Need of any drug treatment, new treatment or modification, that may affect kidney function or serum electrolytes3 hours to 7 days after laxative intake

Number of participants that require outpatient medication change after the intervention.

Glomerular filtration rate3 hours to 7 days after laxative intake

Glomerular filtration rate calculated with the MDRD formula and the CKD-EPI formula.

Serum magnesium concentration3 hours to 7 days after laxative intake

Any abnormal value in serum magnesium concentration.

Blood platelets3 hours to 7 days after laxative intake

Number of blood platelets

Serum chloride concentration3 hours to 7 days after laxative intake

Any abnormal value in serum chloride concentration.

Time from last intake of laxative to the colonoscopy3-5 hours after laxative intake (at the colonoscopy appointment)

Interval in hours between last intake of laxative and the colonoscopy.

Patient-reported experience measures (PREMs) questionnaire of laxative intake3-5 hours after laxative intake (at the colonoscopy appointment)

Patient-reported experience measures (PREMs) questionnaire of laxative intake, administered with the help of an investigator. Descriptive subjective scale: Very bad, bad, average, good, very Good.

Early side effects of laxative intake3-5 hours after laxative intake (at the colonoscopy appointment)

Early side effects of laxative intake. Structured questionnaire nausea, vomiting, dizziness, thirst, headache, abdominal bloating. Non structured for other side effects.

Late side effects of laxative intake3-7 days after laxative intake

Structured questionnaire nausea, vomiting, dizziness, thirst, headache, abdominal bloating, abdominal pain, mental confusion, asthenia, dyspnea, peripheral edema. Non structured for other side effects.
