How to dx ulcerative colitis?

2. ab mass - none
3. roentgen study - see pseudopolyps
4. circumfrential and ocntinuous ulcerations of mucosa
5. angiography - no help
6. biopsy - non specific inflammation of mucosa
7. L colon
How to dx crohns?
1. apthoid ulcers - deep, ulcers with raised margins
2. right colon
3. cobblestone appearance
4. fissures, fistulas
5. microgranulomas made of langerhan's giant cells
UC see?
1. initial attack
2. toxic megacolon - can cause death
3. abcess formation
4. in remission get fibroblasts laying down collagen
5. strictures, stenosis
6. pseudopolyps
7. high carcinoma risk
Crohn's see?
1. acute attacks rare
2. fistula
3. abcess
4. strictures
5. carcinoma rare
How are pseudopolyps formed?
lesions causes inflammed mucosa with small ulcer. collagen laid down. starts healing. contraction and mucosa comes together, get puckering of mucosa = pseudopolyp
Tx crohns with?
TPN
how do you get diarrhea in crohns?
-normally bile salts com down and circulate 2x with each meal
- in crohns..bacteria act against conjugated bile salts and decongugate them. thus not absorbed and get diarrhea
Carcinoma in UC
- with UC get 5 to 10x greater carcinoma
-usually seen in transverse and r colon
