Feb21 M1-IBD and Celiac Flashcards
**ulcerative colitis vs crohn’s: depth
UC = mucosal crohn's = transmural
**UC vs crohn’s pattern
UC = contiguous Crohn's = skips areas
**UC vs Crohn’s location
UC: rectum
Crohn’s: mouth to anus (rectum spared)
**UC vs Crohn’s rectum involvement
UC: rectum involved
Crohn’s: rectum spared
**UC vs Crohn’s ileum involvement
UC: none (or rarely backwash)
Crohn’s: common
**UC vs Crohn’s: presence of fistula or abcess
UC: no
Crohn’s: yes, can have fistula or abcess
**UC vs Crohn’s: granulomas
UC: NO granuloma
Crohn’s: granuloma in 10-30% cases
**UC vs Crohn’s: role of tobacco
UC: tobacco may prevent it?
Crohn’s: tobacco causes harm
**mnemonic for extraintestinal manifestations of IBD + meaning
C: cholangitis (PSC)
H: hematologic (anemia, amyloid)
E: eye
A: arthrisis (peripheral or axial)
T: thromboembolism
S: skin (nodosum, pyoderma gangrenosum, etc.)
(+ kidney stones, gallstones, osteomalacia, pericarditis)
(EXAM) granulomas in crohn’s or in UC
in crohn’s (10-30% of patients)
etiology of IBD
genetic predisposition (160 genes) + environmental triggers + immune system
cells of innate immune response
macrophages, neutrophils, natural killer cells
cells of adaptive immunity
B and T lymphocytes, dendritic cells
important gene in Crohn’s disease and epi
NOD2 (cytosolic R for pathogenic bacterial signals). increases risk of CD by 20-40%
main factors influencing microbiome composition
**diet, sanitation, hygiene, climate, vitamin D
how microbiome composition affects IBD
get diff type of IBD with diff microbiome
pathogenesis of IBD
- dendritic cells (APCs) sample luminal BACTERIA****
- APC present antigens to lymphocytes
- lymphocytes release proinflam cytokines (TNF alpha, ILs): IMBALANCE of proinflam molecules
- increase in adhesion molecules and vascular permeability
2 factors increasing risk of CD and IBD
- smoking (CD)
2. lifestyle like developed countries (IBD)
main symptom of IBD + important note
diarrhea. **primary etiology of diarrhea is infectious disease
tests for IBD
- CRP, calprotectin (inflam marker in stool), B12, anemia.
- endoscopy
CD is where
(upper gut rare)
small bowel alone
small bowel + colon
colon alone
what causes diarrhea in CD
inflammation
fibrostenotic lesion def in CD
inflamm caused scar tissues: areas of narrowing (distension, nausea, vomiting)
