1- IBD & Celiac Disease Flashcards
What age ranges does IBD mainly affect?
Bimodal. 15-35 yo & 50-80 yo
What role does smoking play in CD & UC?
Increases risk in CD. Decreases risk in UC
What IBD involves the GI from mouth to anus, has patchy/skip lesions and transmural inflammation?
Crohns Disease
What IBD is limited to the colon, involves the rectum, extends proximally with continuous circumfrential involvement and has inflammation of the mucosal layer only?
Ulcerative colitis
What will impact the clinical presentation, diagnostic evaluation, management and associated complication of IBD?
Extend and severity of involvement
What part of the GI tract is most commonly impacted by CD?
Ileum → ileitis
What would you expect to find on exam of a pt w/ Crohns perianal disease?
Abscess, fistula
What does transmural mean?
Affects the entire thickness of mucosa
Ulcer, stricture, fistual, and abscess can also result from what?
Penetrating Crohn’s disease
What is a fistula?
tunnel/ abnormnal communication b/w 2 epitheal lined organs
What two organs are connected by an enterovesical fistula?
bowel and bladder
T or F: CD and UC have an incidious onset and alternates b/w periods of exacerbations and relative remission?
TRUE
What determines severity of Crohn’s disease?
Mild → inflammation. Moderate → inflamation, strictures. Severe → inflammation, strictures, fistula
PE on pt w/ abdominal pain reveals RLQ tenderness w/ palpable mass, anal fissues, and B12 deficiency. What disease are you concerned about?
Crohns Disease
What is the most common estra-intestinal manifestation of CD?
Arthralgias (also: oral apthous ulcers, occular manifestations, erythema nodosum, pyoderma gangrenosum)
What imagind should be ordered if suspicious for CD?
Colonoscopy w/ TI intubation. If w/ evidence of CD then order EGD
When would you not order a capsule endoscopy?
In pts w/ suspected intestinal strictures
What tests will indicate inflammation?
ESR/CRP, Fecal calprotectin and lactroferrin
What are skip lesions?
Areas that are disease free
What colonoscopy results would you expect in pt w/ CD?
skip lesions, ulcerations, cobblestoning, rectal sparing (in most pts), +/- fistula
If biopsy is taken from a pt w/ CD, what would you expect to see?
Granulomas and chronic inflammation
What finding on UGI w/ SBFT (Upper GI Series / Small Bowel Follow-through) would you expect in pt w/ CD?
String sign
What would CT or MRI show in pt w/ CD?
mucosal inflamnmation, strictures, abscess, fistula
Colon CA, intestinal strictures, abdominal and perianal fistuala, abscess, and malabsorption are complications associated w/ what disease?
Crohns Disease
When is a colonoscopy recommended in pts w/ IBD?
Every 1-2 yrs starting 8 yrs after disease/sx onset
In CD pt w/ intestinal strictures, fistula or abscess. How might they present?
Will small bowel obstruction and perforation
Pt w/ CD might have what nutritional deficiencies?
Iron and B12
What disease only affects the colon in a continuous circumfrential pattern?
Ulcerative colitis
What portion of the colon is affected in ulcerative proctitis?
Rectum
What portion of the colon is affected in ulcerative proctosigmoiditis?
Rectosigmoid
What portion of the colon is affected in left-sided or distal UC?
Extends to but not beyond splenic flexure
What portion of the colon is affected in extensive colits?
Extends beyond splenic flexure but not to cecum
What portion of the colon is affected in panoctitis?
Disease that extends to cecum
Friability, erosions or bleeding to the mucosal surface of the colon only is concerning for what disease?
Ulcerative colitis
How is the extent and severity of UC determined?
Mild →<4 stools/day, no systemic toxicity. Moderate → >4 stools/day, anemia, low grade fever Severe →> 6 stools/day, systemic toxicity
Pt presents w/ abdominal pain and diarrhea w/ fecal urgency. ON exam you find perimbilical & LLQ tenderness, rectal bleeding, tenesmus, and iron deficiency anemia. What disease are you concerned about?
Ulcerative colitis
If pt w/ Proctitis will they have diarrhea or constipation?
Constipation
What are the most common extra-intestinal manifestions of UC?
Arthralgias & Sclerosing cholangitis (also: occular manifestations, erythema nodosum, pyoderma gangrenosum)
What imaging should you order in pt w/ UC?
Flex sigmoidoscopy or colonoscopy, +/- CT A/P
What tests should you order when evaluating stools samples in pts w/ IBD?
Stool cultures, C. Diff toxin, ova, & parasites. Fecal calprotectin or lactoferrin
Flex sig shows loss of vascular markings, erythema, exudate, friability/erosions and inflammation that begins distally and spreads proximally. What disease are you concerned about?
Ulcerative collitis
What will biopsy show in pt w/ UC?
Crypt abscesses
