Talk Description
Constipation in patients receiving peritoneal dialysis (PD) remains a major problem and is associated with increased risks of mechanical and infectious complications. Psyllium husk has been identified as a potential alternative therapy for constipation. There have been several studies conducted on the benefits on psyllium husk in the general population, however its efficacy, safety and tolerability in patients receiving PD remain unknown.
