Brief Summary

Current American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (ASGE) and European Society of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (ESGE) guidelines recommend a split regimen of high-volume (4-liter polyethylene glycol-based preparation) or low-volume (2-liter polyethylene glycol-based solutions or sodium picosulphate plus magnesium citrate) formulations for routine bowel preparation. Some concerns have been raised about the use of oral bowel-cleansing agents in people receiving hemodialysis due to the possibility of secondary intravascular depletion. There is a risk for thrombosis of dialysis access in case of hypotension. The association of hemodialysis treatment and the use of bowel preparations may induce severe hypovolaemia. Finally, the 4-liter intake with high-volume preparations may cause fluid overload in anuric patients. The aim of our study will be to assess in a randomized trial the non-inferiority of a low-volume versus a high-volume polyethylene glycol-based bowel preparation for adequate bowel cleansing in people receiving hemodialysis (primary end-point). We will also compare the low-volume versus the high-volume preparation for other endoscopic and nephrologic relevant clinical outcomes (secondary end-points).

Low-volume preparation

EXPERIMENTAL

Low-volume preparation of 2-liters polyethylene glycol with citrate and simethicone. This formulation includes 4 large (A) and 4 small (B) sachets; the components of 2 sachets A and 2 sachets B are mixed in 1 liter of water. Each sachet A contains: * polyethylene glycol (4000) 52.50 g; * simethicone 0.08 g; * sodium sulphate anhydrous 3.75 g. Each sachet B contains: * sodium citrate 1.863 g; * anhydrous citric acid 0.813 g; * sodium chloride 0.73 g; * potassium chloride: 0.37 g; * acesulfame potassium 0.13 g. Participants will drink the first liter of preparation at 19.00 p.m. on the day before the colonoscopy, at a rate of 250 ml every 15 minutes, followed by 500 ml of clear liquids. The second liter of preparation will be administered at 7.00 a.m. on the day of the colonoscopy, at a rate of 250 ml every 15 minutes, followed by 500 ml of clear liquids.

Drug: 2-liters polyethylene glycol with citrate and simethicone; Dietary Supplement: Low-residue diet

High-volume preparation

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

High-volume preparation with 4-liters polyethyleneglycol with simethicone. This formulation includes 4 sachets, each dissolved in 1 liter of water.

Participants will drink the first 2 liters of preparation at 19.00 p.m. on the day before colonoscopy, at a rate of 250 ml every 15 minutes. The remaining 2 liters of preparation will be administered at 6.00 a.m. on the day of the endoscopic procedure, at a rate of 250 ml every 15 minutes.
