Renal failure

You've been rather busy adding one factoid to a large number of pages, namely that bowel prep causes acute and even chronic renal failure. I've removed this for now, because this is absolutely not a typical experience, and you may be attaching a lot of importance to an extremely rare idiosyncratic phenomenon. Before you attempt to reinsert this material, could you provide me with a reliable source (e.g. a medical journal article). Thank you. JFW | T@lk 22:59, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

I'm afraid he's got a point. Phosphate containing bowel preps have indeed been reported to cause acute (and only acute, mark you) in a tiny handful of case reports. As an encyclopedically notable cause of ARF, I'm afraid it's non-notable-unless you can provide evidence to the contrary.Felix-felix 15:18, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

Here is an article you should read on Phospho-Soda as a bowel prep causing renal failure: Markowitz GS, Nasr SH, Klein P et al. Renal failure and acute nephrocalcinosis following oral sodium phosphate bowel cleansing. Human Pathol 2004; 35: 675–684 Then go look at the FDA website: http://www.fda.gov/cder/drug/infopage/OSP_solution/science_background.pdf Do your homework on the subject and you'll find that whoever wrote the wikipedia phospho-soda page is SERIOUSLY mistaken about dosing and that taking 3oz of PS is considered an overdose and will likely lead to extreme injury. I am curious as to where this person discovered a single 3oz dose is appropriate?? (please let me know). If you insist on keeping such a limited description of Phospho-Soda up, at least show some responsibility and adequately describe the useage and dosing.

Seen the article thanks, and the FDA article-post mortem cases of nephrocalcinosis aren't terribly compelling evidence to my mind-but this stuff hasn't even made it to review stage-and is (if anything) a vanishingly rare cause of ARF. I have not read or edited the renal phospho-soda page, and am on top of my homework, thanks.Felix-felix 19:18, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for File:Solon_community_TV_still_-_prog.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Solon_community_TV_still_-_prog.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? Melesse (talk) 23:53, 10 January 2010 (UTC)
