29/30 - IBD Flashcards
IBD Risk Factors
Protective Effects
HIGH FIBER DIET
- *HYGIENE**
- *Larger Family** / # of siblings / living on FARM / PET exposure
Smoking / Apendectomy
only for UC
Which IBD based on Risk Factor?
SMOKING = PROTECTIVE
APENDECTOMY = Protective
UC
UC = Smoking / Apendectomy is GOOD
IBD
Risk Factors
NSAIDS / ORAL CONTRACEPTIVES
Sedentary Lifestyle
Stress –> gut inflammation
VITAMIN D Deficiency
Allergy to cow milk / high refined sugar intake
Poor Sleep Quality –> inflmamation
Dysbiosis luminal MICROBIOTA
10-25% have Family History
IBD Diagnosis
PHYSICAL EXAM
ENDOSCOPY** + **BIOPSY
GOLD STANDARD for Diagnosing IBD
Colonoscopy (5ft) / Sigmoidoscopy (2ft)
EGD = CD only
Esophagogastroduodenoscopy, doesnt include Jejunum/ileum
Wireless Video Capsule
visualize small bowel,gets STUCK, not used often
Imaging Studies = CT Scan / MRE
evaluates the upper GI tract
Ulcerative Colitis Differences
Disease Location
Endoscopic Visualization
Pathalogy
Disease Location
confined to JUST THE COLON (okay for EGD)
Endoscopic Visualization
- *Diffuse Superficial Inflammation / loss of Vascular Structure**
- *PSEUDOPOLYPS**
- *Erythema / Friability / Superficial Ulceration**
Pathalogy
Cypt ATROPHY / Neutrophil Infiltration
DIstortion of villous architecture / Paneth Cell metaplasia
Crohn’s Disease Differences
Disease Location
Endoscopic Visualization
Pathalogy
Disease Location
ENTIRE GI TRACT, oral cavity -> Rectom
commonl affeccts Terminal Ileum
Endoscopic Visualization
- *Granulomatous Inflammation = COBBLESTONE**
- *Skip Lesions** / transmural inflammation
Pathalogy
Crypt abscesses / granulomas
inflammation w/ lymphoid aggregates
Antibody Tests
IBD Serologic Markers
Used to:
DISTINGUISH UC from CD
C-Reactive Protein
IBD Serologic Markers
Non-specific
Can correlate with DISEASE ACTIVITY
&
be used DURING FLARE
Fecal CalProtectin
IBD Serologic Markers
Stool Marker
indentifies LARGE intestinal Inflammation
Correlates with Disease Activity
&
can assist with monitoring Disease PROGRESSION
Naming of UC
Proctitis = Rectum
only rectum –> 60-95% of pts
Proctosigmoiditis** = Rectum + Sigmoid Colon
Pancolitis
inflammationt hat extends Past splenic flexure = ALL COLON
Left Sided or Distal Disease
inflammation that extends to splenic Flexure
Which IBD, Clinical Manifestation
AB Pain / Mass
Fatigue / Weight Loss
Fever
Chronic / Nocturnal Diarrhea
CROHNS DISEASE
More common in Females, entire GI tract
Which IBD, Clinical Manifestation
Diarrhea +/- Blood
Tenesmus
urge to go when you cant
^Stool Urgency / Frequency
Rectal Bleeding
Toxic Megacolon
ULCERATIVE COLITIS
ExtraIntestinal Manifestation = EIM
20-40% IBD patients will have inflammation in:
Other Organ Systems
- *Treating IBD –> treats EIM**
- may or may NOT correlate with IBD flare*
Rheuma / Derma / Hepata
Ocular / Hemat / Bones
Nephro / Pancrea
Truelove & Witts
Determines Criteria for WHAT & Based on What?
- *UC**
- *Truelove + Witts**
Mild - Moderate - Severe - Fulminant
Based on:
Stool Frequency / Blood in Stools
Temp / HR / HgB / ESR
CDAI
Determines criteria for WHAT?
&
Severe/Fulminant Criteria
- *CD**
- *Crohn’s Disease Activity Index**
Severe / Fulminant
CDAI > 450
Persistant Symptoms despite treatment w/ steroids/biologics
OR
High Temp / Vomiting / Obstruction
Peritoneal Signs / Cachexia / Abscess
AminoSalicylates
SulfaSalazine / Balsalazide / Olsalazine
5-ASA = Mesalamine
Indicated for what IBD / Severity?
Action / MoA
First Line Therapy for:
MILD-MODERATE IBD
to both Induce & Maintain Remission
UC > CD
in terms of effectiveness
Exerts pharmacologic action TOPICALLY in the gut
- *Anti-Inflammatory**
- inhibits* proinflammatory prostaglandins / leukotrines / cytokine synthesis
- *Immunosupressive**
- BLOCKS* lymphocyte DNA synthesis / T-cell Proliferation
Sulfasalazine
AminoSalicylate
Site of Action / Clinical Pearl
Azulfidine @COLON
Male INFERTILITY (reversible)
may turn Urine ORANGE / stain contacts
Needs Folic Acid supplementation
- *Sulfasalazine = PRODRUG**
- *Mesalamine (5-ASA) is the ACTIVE drug**
- *Sulfapyridine causes the SIDE EFFECTS** = HEADACHE
Sulfasalazine
AminoSalicylate
Formulation / Hypersensitivity
- *Sulfasalazine = Prodrug**
1) Mesalamine = 5-ASA = Active Drug
2) SULFAPYRIDINE = causes Side effects - *DOSE RELATED**, can cause HEADACHE / nausea + fatigue
Hypersensitivity / SULFA ALLERGY
NOT DOSE RELATED
Should be stopped immediately if:
SJS / Fever / Arthralgias / Hepatic or Hematologic Toxicity
Olsalazine
AminoSalicylate
Site of Action / Clinical Pearl
- *Dipentum @ COLON**
- *2X 5-ASA** joined by AZO bond
Same clinical pearls as Balsalazide
SA: HA / Nausea / Ab pain
WATERY DIARRHEA
15% –> should be switched to –> MESALAMINE agent
Balsalazide
AminoSalicylate
Site of Action / Clinical Pearl
- *Colazal @ COLON**
- *5-ASA** linked to inert unabsorbed carrier molecule
Same clinical pearls as Olsalazine
SA: HA / Nausea / Ab pain
WATERY DIARRHEA
15% –> should be switched to –> MESALAMINE agent
- *Mesalamine**
- *5-ASA (Aminosalycylate)**
ENEMA / RECTUM
site of action
Rowasa = Enema
@Descending Colon + Rectum
Give at bedtime + lay on LEFT SIDE for 8 hours
