Colonoscopy Prep for Kidney Patients
Best Option for Kidney Health
PEG Prep: The Ideal Choice
Individuals with kidney disease should opt for a PEG (polyethylene glycol) prep before undergoing a colonoscopy. This preparation minimizes the risk of health complications associated with kidney function.
Colonoscopy Preparation Guidelines
Avoid Fiber Intake
In the days leading up to the procedure, it's crucial to avoid consuming fiber. This ensures the colon is adequately cleansed for optimal visualization during the colonoscopy.
Clear Liquid Diet
As part of the preparation, you may be instructed to adhere to a clear liquid diet. This diet allows you to consume clear liquids while avoiding solid foods.
Laxative Formula
Bowel cleansing is essential for a successful colonoscopy. To achieve this, you will need to consume a laxative formula that will thoroughly cleanse your bowels.
Pre-Colonoscopy Instructions
Two Days Prior
For two days before the colonoscopy, you should consume only plain foods, such as unseasoned chicken, to minimize any impact on your digestive system.
Split Dose Prep
Specific preparation instructions may vary depending on the type of colonoscopy prep used. Common split-dose preparations include Golytely, Trilyte, Colyte, PEG Electrolytes, Suprep, and Moviprep.
