A member asked:
Is a mineral oil enema safe for kidney patients?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
With minimal use: Mineral oil could interfere with vitamin d absorbtion.. Chronic renal failure patients have decreased vitamin d levels, the use of this medication could cause even lower levels of vitamin d with resulting bone disease and low calcium levels.
