OsmoPrep

Patients getting ready for a colonoscopy and certain other medical procedures have suffered from serious kidney damage (acute phosphate nephropathy) sometimes leading to kidney failure,  dialysis and in some cases death after using the OsmoPrep bowel cleansing product. Given the serious nature of the injuries consumers were reporting, the FDA in December 2008 required an OsmoPrep black box warning be added to the labeling of the product.OsmoPrep lawsuit

What is acute phosphate nephropathy?

Acute phosphate nephropathy (also called acute nephrocalcinosis) presents as acute renal failure with minimal proteinuria and a bland urine sediment in patients recently exposed to OSP.   Renal biopsy reveals acute and/or chronic renal tubular injury (depending on time to diagnosis) with calcium-phosphate crystal deposition in the distal tubules and collecting ducts and no other pattern of histological injury.

Bowel cleansing with OSP causes dehydration, decreased intravascular volume, and hyperphosphatemia (due to a large oral phosphate load).   The hyperphosphatemia increases phosphate levels in the renal tubules.   Decreased intravascular volume stimulates reabsorption of water from the renal tubules further increasing the phosphate concentration in renal tubular fluid.   An abnormally high [Ca 2+][PO 4 2-] product in renal tubular fluid causes precipitation of calcium-phosphate crystals in the kidney and the pattern of renal injury described above.
