Abstract:
In recent years, immunotherapy has become a major research focus in the field of cancer treatment. Because of its good efficacy and lasting immune response, immune checkpoint inhibitors have benefited the long-term survival of many types of cancer patients. However, overactivation of the immune system may attack normal organs and cause a series of immune related adverse reactions. Among them, due to the high incidence of immune-related colitis, it deserves special attention. Camrelizumab is a programmed cell death 1 (PD-1) inhibitor that was developed by Jiangsu Hengrui Medicine Company. We reported the clinical data of a case of hepatocellular carcinoma with immune-related colitis after treatment with camrelizumab. A 63-year-old man with hepatocellular carcinoma developed diarrhea and hematochezia after receiving 4 cycles of camrelizumab. Endoscopy showed multiple flake congestion and edema in the terminal ileum and total colon mucosa with bright red surface. Pathological evaluation showed chronic inflammation of colonic mucosa. After giving 0.25g bid of enteric-coated sulfasalazine tablets orally for 6 weeks, his colitis improved. Camrelizumab can induce immune-related colitis. Sulfasalazine could be used to reduce adverse reactions of glucocorticoids.

Inflammatory bowel disease, or IBD, encompasses a group of disorders characterized by chronic inflammation or ulceration of the gastrointestinal tract.
Risk Factors
The exact cause of IBD remains unclear, although it is believed to be due to a mix of genetic, environmental, microbial, and immune factors. Genetic factors are significant in determining susceptibility to IBD, with family history being a critical risk factor. Individuals with a first-degree relative who has IBD are at...
