Acute phosphate nephropathy is a severe kidney condition in which phosphate crystals form on the kidneys and seriously damage them. Without prompt treatment, acute phosphate nephropathy can result in kidney failure, which is fatal without dialysis or a kidney transplant.

In most cases, acute phosphate nephropathy is caused by the use of oral sodium phosphate (OSP) products, particularly a bowel cleansing medication known as Fleet Phospho Soda.

Fleet Phospho Soda (generically sodium biphosphate) is a type of laxative used to clear the bowels before medical procedures such as surgery, colonoscopy and/or x-rays.

Patients who sustain acute phosphate nephropathy or acute renal (kidney) failure following use of Fleet Phospho Soda products will likely have a legal claim against C.B. Fleet, the maker of this bowel cleanser. Injured patients can find out if they are entitled to a settlement by meeting with a defective drug lawyer for a free initial consultation.

Symptoms of Acute Phosphate Nephropathy

The symptoms of acute phosphate nephropathy include:

• abnormal heartbeat
• bloating
• difficult urination
• epilepsy
• general discomfort and fatigue
• high blood pressure
• lower back pain
• muscle twitches and cramping

Given that these symptoms are fairly generic, it's common that patients are unaware they have developed acute phosphate nephropathy until the condition has progressed to acute renal failure. In these cases, patients an lose over 75 percent of their kidney function before seeking medical attention.

FDA Warnings Regarding Fleet Phospho Soda Medications

Upon findings that Fleet Phospho Soda caused serious kidney damage, on Dec. 12, 2008, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued a nationwide warning that:

• Alerted the public to the dangers associated with using Fleet Phospho Soda medications
• Mandated that C.B. Fleet include “Black Box” warning labels on Fleet Phospho Soda packaging (This is the most serious type of FDA warning, as it indicates that a product has the potential to cause severe, possibly life-threatening side effects)
• Triggered C.B. Fleet to voluntarily recall its over-the-counter versions of Fleet Phospho Soda (This bowel cleanser is currently only available via prescription)

Acute Phosphate Nephropathy Treatment

Patients who have developed acute phosphate nephropathy after using Fleet Phospho Soda will need emergency medical care to prevent further damage to their health and to save their lives.

Generally, treatment for acute phosphate nephropathy includes:

• dialysis (the process of cleansing the blood of wastes via medical assistance when the kidneys are no longer able to do so)
• kidney transplant
