Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) is commonly used to
describe 2 idiopathic diseases of GIT with closely related
presentations, these diseases are ULCERATIVE
COLITIS(UC) and CROHN’S DISEASE(CD)
Ulcerative colitis is a Chronic inflammation condition of
GIT mucosa and is primarily found in rectum and colon
where as Crohn’s Disease is a transmural inflammation
of GI mucosa and can be found throughout the GIT from
mouth to the anus and normally CD affects the small
bowel and colon

Epidemiology
Ulcerative colitis
 Age:15-40 yrs (Young adults)
 Sex: No variation between men and women or
between socioeconomic group
 High incidence areas: USA and northern-western
Europe

CROHN’s disease
 Age:1st peak 15-30 years of age, 2nd peak around 60
years
 Sex Marginally more common in females
 High incidence areas: North America, UK,northern
Europe

etiology
• DIET:
• Fat intake
• Fast food ingestion
• Milk and fibre consumption
• Total protein and energy intake
• DRUGS:
• NSAIDS: DICLOFENAC
• Antibiotics: may precipitate the relapse
• Oral contraceptives increase the risk of developing CD
• Smoking is protective against UC but increases the risk
of CD

GENETICS:
• If a patient has IBD, the lifetime risk that a first-degree
relative will be affected is ~15%.
• If two parents have IBD, each child has a 36% chance
of being affected.
• In twin studies , 58% of monozygotic twins are
concordant for CD and 6% are concordant for UC,
whereas 4% of dizygotic twins are concordant for CD
and none are concordant for UC.
• Mutations of gene CARD15/NOD2 on chromosome 16
is associated with SI CD 2 other genes – OCTN1,
DLG5
ETHNIC: Jews are more prone to IBD than non jews.
STRESS: Increase the relapse of IBD

PATHOPHYSIOLOGY
10
11
Davidson’s principle and practice of medicine
12
13
Bacterial antigens are taken up by specialized M cells, pass
between leaky epithelial cells or enter the lamina propria
through ulcerated mucosa
After processing they are presented on type 1 T-helper cells by
antigen presenting cells (APC) in the lamina propria.
T-cell activation and differentiation results in Th1 T cell
mediated cytokine response
With the secretion of cytokines including gamma interferon
(IFNƴ)
14
Further amplification of T cells perpetuates the inflammatory
process with activation of non immune cells and release of the
important cytokines.
Eg: IL-12, IL-23, IL-1, IL-6 and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)
These pathways occur in all normal individual exposed to
inflammatory insults and this is self limiting in healthy subjects
In genetically predisposed persons, dysregulation of innate
immunity may trigger inflammatory bowel disease.

NON PHARMACOLOGICAL THERAPY
Nutrition and Diet Support :
Patients with moderate to severe IBD are often malnourished.
The nutritional needs of the majority of patients can be
adequately addressed with enteral supplementation. Patients who
have severe disease may require a course of parenteral nutrition.
Probiotic formulas have been effective in maintaining remission
in ulcerativecolitis.
Supplemental fat soluble vitamins,medium supplemental
triglycerides and parenteral vitamin B12
Avoid high fibre diet in presence of diarrhoea and dysentry.

57
Surgery:
• For ulcerative colitis, colectomy may be performed when
the patient has disease uncontrolled by maximum
medical therapy or when there are complications of the
disease such as colonic perforation, toxic dilatation
(megacolon), uncontrolled colonic hemorrhage, or colonic
strictures.
• The indications for surgery with Crohn’s disease are not
as well established as they are for ulcerative colitis, and
surgery is usually reserved for the complications of the
disease. There is a high recurrence rate of Crohn’s
disease after surgery.
