Bowel preparation for colonoscopy in people with cirrhosis
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study tests a different way of preparing the bowel before a colonoscopy to see if it is safer or more effective for people with cirrhosis. It may help your doctor see your colon more clearly during the procedure, which can improve the quality of the exam.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must have been diagnosed with cirrhosis (scarring of the liver).
- You must be at least 18 years old.
- You need to be scheduled for a full colonoscopy (a check of your large intestine) as an outpatient, meaning you don't stay overnight.
- You must be able to understand and follow instructions in Portuguese.
- You cannot have any of these: an urgent procedure, a past surgery on your colon, severe confusion or drowsiness from liver issues, serious fluid build-up in your abdomen that isn't helped by medicine, or very low salt in your blood.
