Abstrakt: Aim: To establish the frequency of hyperphosphatemia following the administration of sodium phosphate laxatives in low-risk patients.
Methods: One hundred consecutive ASA I-II individuals aged 35-74 years, who were undergoing colonic cleansing with oral sodium phosphate (OSP) before colonoscopy were recruited for this prospective study.
Exclusion Criteria: congestive heart failure, chronic kidney disease, diabetes, liver cirrhosis, intestinal obstruction, decreased bowel motility, increased bowel permeability, and hyperparathyroidism. The day before colonoscopy, all the participants entered a 24-h period of diet that consisted of 4 L of clear fluids with sugar or honey and 90 mL (60 g) of OSP in two 45-mL doses, 5 h apart. Serum phosphate was measured before and after the administration of the laxative.
Results: The main demographic data (mean +/- SD) were: age, 58.9 +/- 8.4 years; height, 163.8 +/- 8.6 cm; weight, 71 +/- 13 kg; body mass index, 26 +/- 4; women, 66%. Serum phosphate increased from 3.74 +/- 0.56 to 5.58 +/- 1.1 mg/dL, which surpassed the normal value (2.5-4.5 mg/dL) in 87% of the patients. The highest serum phosphate was 9.6 mg/dL. Urea and creatinine remained within normal limits. Post-treatment OSP serum phosphate concentration correlated inversely with glomerular filtration rate (P < 0.007, R(2) = 0.0755), total body water (P < 0.001, R(2) = 0.156) and weight (P < 0.013, R(2) = 0.0635).
Conclusion: In low-risk, well-hydrated patients, the standard dose of OSP-laxative-induced hyperphosphatemia is related to body weight.
