Learning Objectives Approaches to Inflammatory Bowel Disease Maria T. Abreu, MD University of Miami Miller School of Medicine Miami, Florida Translate the concepts related to pathogenesis of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Employ strategies for implementing first-line therapy for IBD. Manage side effects and develop preventive care plans for IBD patients on immunomodulatory or biologic therapy. The Spectrum of IBD UC CD DIAGNOSIS OF IBD Indeterminate colitis

2 Diagnosis of IBD Genetic testing Radiology History/ and Physical Endoscopy IBD Pathology The First Goal of Management in IBD: Obtain a Clear and Accurate Diagnosis In 2015, should include disease extent and current severity and some element of longitudinal prognosis Serologic testing The Challenges to Diagnosis in IBD Lack of knowledge about the disease and its various manifestations (primary care). Lag time of presymptomatic disease before presentation. Inaccurate classification system Overlap of phenotypes between ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn s disease (CD) Variations of existing disease presentations Diagnosis of IBD is Based on the Gold Standard of Clinical, radiographic, endoscopic, and histologic findings + Serologic and genetic testing Clinical: Clues From the History How did the symptoms start? Acute onset or insidious over time What do they mean by diarrhea, abdominal pain, or bleeding? You may be surprised! Think about red flags Waking at night, weight loss, anemia Family history Family history of CD had a hazard ratio (HR) of 8.4 (95%, confidence interval [CI] ) 1 Will this be self-limited? Medication effect or infection Clinical: Clues From the Exam Extraintestinal manifestations Red eyes, aphthous ulcers, joint and skin effects May precede GI symptoms Fullness or mass on abdominal exam Perianal disease Fissure, abscess, fistula, skin tags 1. Melmed GY et al. Dis Colon Rectum. 2008;51:100.

3 Considerations in the Differential Diagnosis of IBD Infectious colitis (including Clostridium difficile) Ischemic colitis Drug-induced (NSAID) enterocolitis Solitary rectal ulcer syndrome Radiation enterocolitis Diversion colitis Endometriosis Malignancy Functional (IBS) Diverticular disease Adapted from Forcione DG, Sands BE. In: Sartor RB, NSAID, Sandborn nonsteroidal WJ. Kirsner s anti-inflammatory Inflammatory drug Bowel Diseases. 6th ed. New York: Saunders; 2004: Symptoms of Ulcerative Colitis Depend on Extent and Severity of Inflammation Rectal bleeding and urgency to evacuate Diarrhea Abdominal cramping Extraintestinal symptoms Joint pain/swelling Eye inflammation Skin lesions Common Symptoms of Crohn s Disease Diarrhea Abdominal pain and tenderness Loss of appetite and weight Fever Fatigue Rectal bleeding and anal ulcers Stunted growth in children Patients (%) Small-Bowel Imaging in Crohn s Disease: Prospective Blinded 4-Way Study With Consensus Reference Standard CTE Sensitivity Specificity (n=41) (n=27) (n=36) (n=38) CTE and CE were equally sensitive but CE was less specific than the other 3 modalities Accuracy CE IleocolonoscopySBFT CTE, CT enterography; CE, capsule endoscopy Solem CA et al.

Fecal markers of inflammation. Small intestinal ultrasonography. PET scans. Therapeutic monitoring using metabolites and drug levels.

4 Summary of IBD Diagnosis Overdiagnosis of IBD can be as large a problem as underdiagnosis. A careful history and physical exam in combination with radiographic, endoscopic, and histologic findings is necessary. The first colonoscopy is the most important. Serologic and genetic markers are currently adjunctive. Think about how a test will help you before you do it.
