Calcium oxalate crystals present in urine after PEG

[Guest guest]

Moreover, oliguria developed within the next 20 h so she was diagnosed with acute renal failure. The presence of metabolic acidosis and urinary calcium oxylate crystals were noted, so PEG-related oliguric acute tubular necrosis was suspected. The above symptoms were similar to those seen with ethylene glycol intoxication. We conclude that bowel preparation with PEG lavage solution may be associated with severe renal complications, and that physicians

should be aware of possible adverse effects when administering the agent. ( Tw J Phys Med Rehabil 2 http://www.ntuh.gov.tw/PMR/Lists/List14/Attachments/164/10253009-200903-37-1-45-50-a.pdf
