  • weight loss, anorexia, malnutrition
  • bone loss
  • SBO
29
Q

surgical intervention for crohns

A
  • generally want to avoid for as long as possible
  • bowel resection does not decrease likelihood that pt has relapses
  • want to preserve as much bowel as possible
30
Q

treatment for abscesses in crohns

A
  • CT to dx
  • broad spectrum abx
  • percutaneous drainage
31
Q

treatment for obstruction in crohns

A
  • IVF, IV steroids
  • NGT decompression
  • refractory -> partial resection or stricturoplasty
32
Q

treatment for fistulas in crohns

A
  • abdominal and rectovaginal fistulas common
  • TPN/ oral elemental diet may temporarily close fistula
  • antibiologics X 10 weeks- best mgmt but half recurr
  • surgical resection if all others fail
33
Q

treatment for perianal disease in crohns

A
  • cipro or flagyl
  • mesalazine PR or tacrolimus ointment for fissures
  • antibiologics
  • recurrence common
34
Q

what is included in the montreal classification for crohns

A
  • extent (L)

- phenotype (B)

35
Q

L1 crohns

A
  • confined to terminal ileum
36
Q

L2 crohns

A
  • confined to colon
37
Q

L3 crohns

A
  • ileum + colon
38
Q

L4 crohns

A
  • involves upper GIT
39
Q

L3 + L4 crohns

A
  • upper GIT plus distal GIT
40
Q

A
  • without strictures, non-penetrating
41
Q

B2 crohns

A
  • stricturing
42
Q

A
  • penetrating
43
Q

B4 crohns

A
  • perianally penetrating
44
Q

crohns dx

A
  • must r/o infectious and noninfectious causes first
  • colonoscopy + bx
  • inflammatory markers are good for monitoring disease progression
45
Q

A
  • specific colonic inflammatory marker

- used in monitoring crohns

crohns treatment for diarrhea

A
  • loperamide

Q

where does celiac affect the gut

  • proximal small bowel- duodenum

- vili become atrophied/ damaged/ absent -> malabsorption issues

53

A
  • diarrhea, flatulence, borborygmus
  • weight loss
  • weakness and fatigue

Q

extraintestinal sx of celiac

A
  • fatigue, depression, iron deficiency anemia
  • osteopenia/porosis
  • neurologic sx
  • dermatitis herpetiformis*- extensor surfaces of extremities, trunk, buttocks, scalp, neck
  • amenorrhea, delayed puberty, infertility
55
Q

PE findings for celiac

A

  • peripheral neuropathy or ataxia- B12, E
  • chvostek or trousseau sign, tetany- Ca
56
Q

what blood tests are used for dx of celiac

A
  • IgA TTG- best
  • IgA levels- some may be deficient
  • IgA TTG combined testing for IgG deaminated gliadin peptides

gold standard for celiac dx

A
