Managing Constipation in Hemodialysis Patients

Constipation, a common and often uncomfortable condition, can be particularly challenging for individuals undergoing hemodialysis. This case series explored the efficacy and safety of polyethylene glycol in managing constipation in hemodialysis patients. The researchers aimed to determine if polyethylene glycol could effectively reduce the need for stimulant laxatives and improve bowel function. Their findings suggest that polyethylene glycol may be a useful tool for managing constipation in this patient population, offering hope for improved quality of life.

Exploring Polyethylene Glycol for Constipation Management in Hemodialysis Patients
