Article Synopsis
- Enemas are commonly used for constipation relief and before medical procedures, but they can disrupt serum electrolyte levels, which this study aims to investigate.
- The study involved healthy volunteers aged 35-70 in a randomized, crossover trial that compared effects of a sodium phosphate enema to a control, measuring changes in serum electrolyte concentrations and urinary phosphorus.
- Results showed that after administering the enema, there were notable changes in serum phosphate and sodium levels, indicating potential risks associated with the use of enemas.
