Renal Failure / PEG

[Guest guest]

This is probably the most important piece of information we've found yet regarding the similarities of PEG and EG....................Also, , I forgot to tell you that in this article it states about the high phosphates, etc. Answer to person inquiring about how long it takes to rid the body...........For the current patient, a urine analysis 30 h after ingestion showed positive oxalate crystals. Her urine output did not return to normal range until 30 h after ingestion, while serum creatinine did not recover until 15 days after ingestion. The adverse effects of PEG share some common features with intoxication of ethylene glycol,

which is a common ingredient among automotive antifreeze solutions and industrial solvents. The laboratory features of ethylene glycol intoxication include high anion-gap metabolic acidosis, wide osmolal gap, and hypocalcemia. [14] The liver metabolizes most of the ethylene glycol via alcohol dyhydrogenase, with the final metabolite being oxalic acid (oxalate). Oxalate combines with calcium to form calcium oxalate crystals, which precipitate and are toxic to the kidneys.

Hope this works, doesn't want to attach anymore? Read first paragraph about the oxalate crystals present in urine after ingestingwww.ntuh.gov.tw-PMR-Lists-List14-Attachments-164-10253009-200903-37-1-45-50-a.pdfTo: miralax Sent: Thu, July 21, 2011 7:36:01 PMSubject: new here and looking for anyone who experienced my same situation

My 5 year old son has been on 1 capful of miralax for 28 days per doctor for constipation. Week 1 frequent urination and bedwetting (doctor said it was from being very backed up). Week 2 extreme fatique (eyes 1/2 shut), eye blinking tic, spaciness, change of personality to very mellow. Week 3 started all the different motor tics which he still has presently daily and he is still vert tired at times. During this time took him to the doctors 3 times and never once did they think it was miralax and neither did I. Last night I entered miralax and tics and found all this information and have been just blown away by it all.

My son has an eeg on monday. I told my doctor today about miralax and she said there is no scientific evidence and doubts his symptoms are from it. She said if he had any extra in him he would urinate it out and it wouldnt go into the blood stream or effect brain. I would love to hear from anyone that has had a similiar situation. Does anyone know how long it takes for miralax to be out of the system. Tonight will be 2 full days for him and he still has the tics. Thanks so much!!!
