90% present 10-40yo

28
Q

Most commonly Crohn’s affects the

A

RHS colon and distal ileum

29

Stenosis in Chron’s may be __/__

A

fibrotic or inflammatory

30
Q

knife-like fissures =

A

Crohn’s

31
Q

Histology of Crohn’s -

A
thicker mucosa
knife like fissures
chronic active colits w non-casseating granuloma
increased inflam cells in lamina propria
crypt branching
32
Q

Complications of Crohn’s

A
greater omentum wraps around
strictures
gallstones
fistulas
perianal disease
33
Q

Extra-intestinal symptoms/signs are rare in which IBD

A

Crohn’s

34
Q

Which IBD is more ac=ssociateed with colorectal cancer

A

UC

35
Q

IBD that causes a thin wall

A

UC

36
Q

Crohn’s 3 steps of treatment

A

steroids>immunosuppression> anti-TNF therapy

37
Q

UC 4 steps of treatment =

A

5-ASA>steroids>immunosuppression>anti-TNF therapy

38
Q

___ is effective in UC but not in treating Crohn’s

A

5-ASA

39
Q

examples of 5-ASA drug names:

routes =

A

sulfasalazine, balsalazide, mezavant = prodrugs
asacol = pH release
pentasa = delayed release all PO
can get suppositories and enemas

40
Q

Compare suppositories and enemas of 5-ASA for UC

A
suppository = morning, coats less than 20cm but better mucosal adherence
enema = night, reflex contraction aids proximal spread
41
Q

for acute flare of UC give 5-ASA in ___ approach

A

top and tail

PO + enema/suppository

42
Q

Steroids used in UC and Crohn’s eg.s
used for flare ups so start ___ and ___ over 6-8wks
dont ____ as could get Addison’s crisis

A

budesonide, prednisolone
high dose, taper down
DON’T stop immediately

43
Q

Immunosuppression eg.s used in IBD
In Crohn’s used as ___
In UC used as ___

A

azathioprine/mecaptopurine(6-MP), methotrexate
Crohn’s = maintenance therapy
UC = steroid sparing agents

44
Q

IS in IBD mechanism of action =

A

purine analogues and interfere with DNA synthesis

45
Q

If hetero/homozygous for low ___ then giving mercaptopurine(6-MP) in IBD could be toxic as 6MP not converted to ___ which balances out toxic effects of 6-TGN which is formed by ___ breakdown of 6-MP

A

TPMT
6-MMP
HPRT

46
Q

Don’t prescribe ___ with IS for IBD because it inhibits xanthine oxidase which ___

A

allopurinol

breaks down 6-MP to 6-TU for clearance

47
Q

IS for IBD has a slow/rapid onset so __

A

slow - 16wks

start when start steroids then when they end IS should take over

48
Q

TNFα is a ____

functions =

A

pro-inflam cytokine
causes Th0 to differentiate
modulates MadCAM-1 on vessel walls which pull T cells to site of inflam

49
Q

eg. of anti TNFs used in IBD

mechanism

A

IV infliximab
S/C adalimumab
block TNFα and increase apop of activated T cells

50

anti TNFs have a slow/rapid onset

give on day 0 then __ then __ then every ___ after that

A

rapid
wk 2
wk6
every 6-8wks to maintain

51
Q

if give then can reactivate tb

must never have had tb to be put on them

A

anti-TNF therapy

for IBD/ rheumatoid arthritis

52
Q

one side effect =may develop HACA

A

infliximab (antiTNF therapy)

53
Q

biosimilars to infliximab that are cheaper =

Q

Which IBD:
If operate rarely see again
also doesn’t cure ___ symptoms

A

UC

55
Q

in toxic megacolon most likely part to perforate is __ because ___

caecum as it is most thin walled

56
Q

2 methods of panproctocolectomy

A

with ileostomy

leave sphincter and make J/S pouch with at least 30cm of bowel

57
Q

surgery for IBD is if -

A

no response to drugs, obstruction, abscess, fistulae = emergency
no response to drugs, dysplasia of mucosa = elective

58
Q

If operate on this IBD is likely to come back within 10 yrs

Crohn’s

59
Q

Peri-anal fistulae are more common in which IBD

A

Crohn’s

60
Q

Surgery that can be done for strictures
