Drugs that decrease LES pressure | CCBs, B-blockers, nitrates, barbituates, anticholinergics, theophylline |
drugs that increase LES pressure | tetracycline, NSAIDs, ASA, bisphosphonates, iron, quinidine, KCL |
two types of inflammatory bowel disease | ulcerative colitis and crohns disease |
mild presentation of IBD | <4 stools/day with or without blood; without systemic disturbance, with normal ESR |
moderate presentation of IBD | >4 stools/day with minimal signs of toxicity |
severe presentation of IBD | >6 stools/day with blood, systemic disturbance, and ESR>30 |
fulminant of IBD | >10 bowels/day, continuous bleeding, toxicity, ab tenderness or distended, blood transfusion requirement, colonic dilation on abdominal plain films |
treatment for distal UC that involves only the rectum | 1) topical aminosalicylates for two-three weeks; 2) rectal steroids; 3) oral amino and/or steroids |
treatment for mild to moderate distal colitis | PO aminos; topical mesalamine or topical steroids; if refractory, use oral steroids; (combining PO aminos and topical aminos better than just using one) |
maintenance of remission of distal ulcerative colitis | mesalamine enemas every third night; oral aminos |
moderate to severe distal colitis treatment | BID enemas, PO aminos+topical aminos |
severe distal colitis treatment | PO corticosteroids if failed aminos; taper CS once get remission and continue PO/topical aminos as maintenance therapy |
mild to moderate extensive ulcerative colitis treatment | 1) PO aminos; 2) high dose PO CS (no role in maintenance therapy); 3) azathioprine, mercaptopurine |
moderate to severe extensive ulcerative colitis | infliximab |
severe/fulminant extensive ulcerative colitis treatment | hospitalization and bowel rest; IV steroids; surgery; IV Cyclosporine; Azathioprine for maintenance therapy |
mild to moderate Crohn's disease treatment | PO aminos; flagyl or cipro; both more effective for colonic than ileal CD |
mild to moderate gastroduodenal CD treatment | H2Bs or PPIs |
moderate to severe CD treatment | 1) PO prednisone/PO Budesonide; 2) Azathioprine; 3) 6 Mercaptopurine; 4) MTX or Infliximab for maintenance |
Severe or fulminant CD treatment | hospitalization for IV steroids, hydration; metro or cipro for fistulas; surgery; Azathioprine, Mercapto, Infliximab, PPIs + Octreotide for fistulas; cyclosporine, tacrolimus; Mercapto is best for preventing relapse of CD after surgical intervention |
