Clinical trials and off label/investigational uses will not be discussed during this presentation. 2 IBD Basics IBD is a chronic immunologically mediated disease characterized by GI tract inflammation Epidemiology: IBD affects 1.6 million people in the United States Two major forms: Ulcerative colitis and Crohn s disease Age of onset: early childhood to the elderly CD: peak onset years UC: peak onset years Second peak of onset: years (bimodal) Course: Progressive or relapsing/remitting Ananthakrishnan, AK, et al.

3 Clinical Features of IBD Feature Ulcerative colitis Crohn s disease Fever Occasional Common Abdominal pain Varies Common Diarrhea Very common Fairly common Rectal bleeding Very common Fairly common Weight loss Fairly common Common Signs of malnutrition Fairly common Common Perianal disease (fistulae) Absent Fairly common Abdominal mass Absent May occur Growth failure (children and adolescents) Occasional Common Podolsky DK. N Engl J Med. 2002;347: Anatomic Features of IBD (Radiologic and Endoscopic) Feature Ulcerative colitis Crohn s disease Site Large intestine only Mouth to anus Distribution Contiguous mucosal inflammation limited to the lining of the large intestine; typically begins in the rectum and proceeds proximally and may involve the entire colon, left side or rectum only Asymmetric, transmural inflammation affecting any part of the GI tract, but most often the last portion of the ileum and parts of the colon. Presents with skip lesions. Transmural inflammation can lead to perforation/abscesses Ulceration Fine, superficial Deep into submucosa, serpiginous, linear Anal fissures Absent Common Fistulae and Strictures Rare Common Podolsky DK.

10 Parenteral Nutrition in IBD Instead of or in addition to diverting ostomy in Crohn s disease: o For treatment enterocutaneous, severe perianal or rectovaginal fistulas o Along with IR drain(s) and antibiotics for abscess(es) Obstructive episodes due to inflammatory strictures in CD To allow inflammation to lessen prior to starting new medication in those refractory to and/or intolerant of multiple medications in CD Decreased p.o. intake (lessened by 60 80%) High output ostomy or J pouch with evidence of malnutrition Prolonged post op ileus Anastomotic leak post op Malnutrition peri operatively (UC &CD > 25 80% of patients) Short bowel syndrome (long term TPN) Evans JP, et al. J Gastrointest Surg 2003 May Jun;7(4): Parenteral Nutrition in IBD Although significant advances have been made in understanding the pathogenesis, genetics and treatment of IBD, PN is still considered an adjunct therapy Bowel rest: o Decreases antigenicity in bowel lumen d/t decreased ingested proteins o Alters gut microbiota o Decreases colonic fecal bile salt load d/t decreased ingested fats Increased resting energy expenditure during flares Goh, J et al. Aliment Pharmacol Ther 2003; 17: Duerksen,D. MedScape Multidisciplinary 2000; mhttp:// 29 Parenteral Nutrition in IBD Nutritional deficiencies are caused by: o Decreased oral intake o Increased losses (due to underlying diarrhea) o Malabsorption (decreased absorption of vitamin B12 in patients with ileal Crohn s disease or resection or J pouch) Nutrient deficiencies can lead to: o Decreased bone mineral density (decreased Ca++, Vit D) o Thrombophilia (hyperhomocysteinemia 2/2 low folate DVT/PE) o Colon cancer (folate deficiency) o Anemia (iron deficiency, B12 deficiency) Goh, J et al. Aliment Pharmacol Ther 2003; 17: Duerksen,D. MedScape Multidisciplinary 2000; mhttp:// NHIA Annual Conference & Exposition 10

11 Parenteral Nutrition in IBD Glutamine in the PN Formula: A non essential AA preferred as fuel by the small bowel Is an increased requirement in the catabolic state May play a role in decreasing gut permeability and preserving the integrity of gut mucosa Oral glutamine was of no benefit in Crohn s disease Oliveira GP, et al.. An Acad Bras Ciênc. 2010;82(2): Den Hond E, et al. JPEN J Parenter Enteral Nutr. 1999;23:7 11 Goh, J et al. Aliment Pharmacol Ther 2003; 17: TPN Treatment Case 32 TPN as Treatment in IBD Josh is a 27 year old male with Crohn s disease of the terminal ileum (TI) and colon diagnosed in 2008, s/p ICR 2008 Presented with abdominal pain and diarrhea that worsened over 2 months ending in fevers to 101, night sweats, obstructive symptoms, and a 7 # weight loss (69 in., 168# 161#) MRE showed an inflammatory stricture involving a long segment of the neo TI with 3 short skip lesions (~ 22 cm) after losing response to infliximab 10mg/kg q 4 weeks (blood test revealed antibodies to infliximab) MRE also showed a fistula from the small bowel to the sigmoid colon along with an abscess We all wanted to avoid surgery admitted for supportive care, IV antibiotics, and D/C to home on TPN This allowed Josh s gut to cool off ; the abscess and inflammation to decrease or resolve completely, and to allow him to regain some of the weight he lost NHIA Annual Conference & Exposition 11

12 TPN as Treatment in IBD Josh had a very difficult time tolerating TPN emotionally and maintaining a full time work schedule After four weeks on TPN and oral antibiotics, his abscess decreased in size and the long segment of small bowel inflammation decreased as well on repeat MRE He regained 4 pounds At the end of 4 weeks, allowed to try full liquids & soft solid foods He tolerated that so added chicken and fish TPN rate cut down After three days of increased p.o. intake, his TPN was discontinued and his PICC line was pulled 34 TPN at Treatment in IBD 48 hours after Josh s PICC line was pulled, started on a slower than usual loading dose of adalimumab Instead of the traditional 160 mg dose (4 pens) followed by 80 mg (2 pens) two weeks later, Joshua took 2 prefilled pens every 2 weeks xthree to complete the loading dose (then started maintenance dose of one 40 mg pen every 2 weeks) This was done with the hopes of preventing the inflamed TI from healing too quickly and scarring down resulting in a fibrotic stricture We also use a decreased dose of the adalimumab stretched out over a longer interval to prevent a recurrence of the abscess Thankfully this worked out well for Joshua, and his ileal disease went into remission and his abscess did not recur 35 Thank You!
