  2. Faculty

  3. Learning Objectives • Discuss the pathophysiology, genetic components, and immunopathogenesis of IBD and how this translates to individualizing treatment strategies • Understand current and novel therapies, their mechanisms of action, side effects, and monitoring requirements • Evaluate patient disease activity, quality of life, and patient education resources on treatment therapies to support optimal understanding and adherence

  6. Katy S: Presenting Symptoms • Katy is a 25-year-old elementary school teacher. • She became an established patient at your practice when she moved to the area 3 years ago after graduating from college and accepting a teaching position at a local school. • Until today, Katy’s medical history is significant only for seasonal allergies. • At today’s appointment, Katy reports she has experienced intermittent abdominal pain and diarrhea for the past 2 to 3 months.

  7. Katy S: Presenting Symptoms • When you ask her to describe her symptoms, Katy reports: • Onset of the pain ~1 hour after eating, with more severe pain in the evening • The pain occurs almost daily and is most noticeable in the right lower quadrant • Katy indicates the pain persists for a few hours and may be accompanied by nausea • She reports no relief from ibuprofen but indicates a heating pad is sometimes helpful • Katy tells you she has 4 to 6 episodes of diarrhea each day, although the timing is variable • Occasionally she awakens a night with diarrhea and she experiences urgency • She expresses concerns about having an accident while teaching • She denies taking any other-the-counter medications for the diarrhea • Katy also denies seeing any blood in her stool

  22. Clinical Features

  23. Symptoms Associated with Intestinal Inflammation • Diarrhea • May contain mucus or blood • Nocturnal diarrhea • Incontinence • Pain or rectal bleeding with bowel movement • Severe bowel movement urgency • Constipation • Can be primary symptom in UC limited to rectum (proctitis) • Can be as severe with obstipation and no passage of flatus when bowel obstruction is present Adams SM, Bornemann PH.

Am Fam Physician. 2011;84(12):1365-75.

  24. Symptoms Associated with Intestinal Inflammation • Tenesmus • Nausea and vomiting; more common in CD • Abdominal cramps and pain • Frequently located in RLQ in CD • Around the umbilicus or in the LLQ in moderate-to-severe UC In most cases, CD and UC are chronic, intermittent conditions. Symptoms range from mild to severe during relapses and may completely resolve during remissions. Symptoms typically depend on the segment of the intestinal tract that is affected.

  47. Primary Pharmacologic Interventions

  48. Pharmacologic Interventions • Major classes of pharmacologic agents approved for UC and CD include: • 5-aminosalicylic acids • Corticosteroids • Immunomodulators • TNF inhibitors and monoclonal antibodies • Severity of disease at presentation should guide therapy • Emerging research suggests aggressive treatment at earlier stage of disease may improve clinical outcomes and increase likelihood of mucosal healing. • Step-up, Top-down Study revealed CD patients randomized to early treatment with immunomodulator plus TNF inhibitor were more likely to achieve clinical remission, steroid-free remission, and mucosal healing compared to patients treated with corticosteroids sequentially followed (as needed) by azathioprine and infliximab • Bernstein CN, et al.
