Complications of Ulcerative Colitis Leah Wendland Sodexo Mid-Atlantic Intern February 1st 2013
Objectives • Be able to identify intestinal complications of UC • Be able to identify an extraintestinal complication of UC • Identify a potential treatment of UC and potential side effects of this treatment
Ulcerative Colitis (UC) “Approximately 10% of ulcerative colitis (UC) patients require a colectomy within 10years of diagnosis”
Ulcerative Colitis (UC) a type of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) that affects the lining of the large intestine (colon) and rectum
Intestinal Complications of UC • Malnutrition/Malabsorption • Bleeding • anemia • Intestinal Infections • Colorectal cancers • Colectomy
Extraintestional Complications • Arthritis • Diminished bone health • Liver and Gall Bladder disorders • primary sclerosingcholangitis (PSC) • cirrhosis • Thromboembolism • Kidney stones
Treatments for UC • Diet/Nutrition • Medication • Aminosalicylates • Corticosteroids • Immunosuppressants • Surgery
Long term effects of UC medication • Corticosteroids (prednisolone, methylprednisolone) • Weight gain, excessive facial hair, HTN, Hyperglycemia, osteoporosis/weakened bones • Anti-inflammatory • Aminosalicylates (mesalamine,balsalazide) • nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, heartburn and headache • Anti-inflammatory • Immunosuppresents (Azasan, Imuran) • Increased risk of infection/opportunistic infections • Anti-inflammatory
Nutrition Therapy for UC • Low- fiber diet during flare up • High-fiber diet while in remission • Possible lactose, gluten or wheat intolerance • Modify diet to fit needs of individual pt • No nuts, seeds, skins, popcorn etc.

Follow Up • 12/19: *my first contact • Reported N/V • Provided new diagnosis • Altered GI function r/tcolectomy and recent hospital course a/e/b Pt reporting N/V, hxileostomy and colectomy • Medications added • Warfarin • Provided ileostomy nutrition education as well as Vit K/ warfarin education
