Chronic Bowel Disorders: Introduction01:17

Chronic Bowel Disorders: Introduction

474
Chronic bowel diseases are a group of long-term conditions affecting the digestive tract, characterized by inflammation and damage to the gut lining. These conditions primarily include irritable bowel syndrome and inflammatory bowel disease.
Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is a common disorder affecting the gastrointestinal tract. The distinctive feature is recurrent abdominal pain associated with altered bowel movements, manifesting as constipation, diarrhea, or fluctuating between both. The...

Chronic Pancreatitis I: Introduction

106
The pancreas, an elongated and flat gland situated behind the stomach, serves a vital function in digesting food and managing blood sugar levels.
Pancreatitis is the inflammation of the pancreas, which occurs when the immune system becomes active and causes swelling, pain, and disruptions in organ function. Pancreatitis can manifest as either an acute or chronic condition.
Acute pancreatitis arises suddenly and lasts for a brief duration, while chronic pancreatitis is a long-term affliction...

Autoimmune Disorders

481
Autoimmune diseases are a group of disorders in which the body's immune system mistakenly attacks its own cells, tissues, and organs. This results from an overactive immune response against substances and tissues normally present in the body. Let's delve into the concept and mechanism of autoimmune diseases from an immune system point of view, explore different causes and examples of such diseases, and discuss potential solutions.

Inflammatory Bowel Disease I: Ulcerative Colitis

207
Introduction
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...

Gastritis-II: Pathophysiology01:17

Gastritis-II: Pathophysiology

367
Gastritis is marked by disruption of the mucosal barrier that usually protects the stomach tissue from digestive juices and manifests in acute and chronic forms.
In acute gastritis, the gastric mucosa becomes swollen and red and undergoes superficial erosion. Superficial ulceration may lead to bleeding.
In chronic gastritis, persistent or repeated insults lead to chronic inflammatory changes and, eventually, thinning or atrophy of the gastric tissue.
Gastritis can stem from various causes, each...

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Hepatology
  • Immunology

Background:

  • Autoimmune enteropathy is a rare condition affecting the small intestine.
  • Primary biliary cholangitis is a chronic liver disease.
  • Co-occurrence of these conditions is uncommon.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To report a case of autoimmune enteropathy co-occurring with primary biliary cholangitis in an elderly female.
  • To describe the clinical presentation, diagnostic findings, and treatment outcomes.

Main Methods:

  • Clinical case presentation and review.
  • Enteroscopy with biopsy to assess small intestinal morphology.
  • Laboratory tests for metabolic and liver function.
  • Pharmacological treatment with ursodeoxycholic acid, corticosteroids, and immunosuppressants.

Main Results:

  • The patient presented with chronic diarrhea, malnutrition, hypokalemia, and metabolic acidosis.
  • Enteroscopy revealed atrophied villi with characteristic changes.
  • Hormone therapy initially improved diarrhea.
  • Combined treatment for both conditions led to normalized liver function.

Conclusions:

  • Autoimmune enteropathy can present with severe gastrointestinal and metabolic disturbances.
  • Concurrent primary biliary cholangitis requires comprehensive management.
  • Multifaceted treatment including corticosteroids and immunosuppressants can be effective.
