Inflammatory Bowel Disease
• Inflammation and ulceration of the lining of the intestines
• 2 types– Ulcerative colitis – begins in the rectum and extends upward
with remission and exaberations– Crohn’s disease or regional enteritis – can effect any area
but usually the terminal ilium. May involve regional lymph nodes and fistulas to the bladder, vagina, and perianal area.
• Treatment for both is similar, except for surgical approach
• Cause is unknown / more young Jew’s

Ulcerative Colitis
Patho
– Loose stools with blood and mucus
– Poor absorption of nutrients
– Thickening of colon wall and may form abscess’s
– Can have minor problems or may be serious
– Acute episodes may involve bleeding and ulcerations
– Chronic stage may have fibrosis, muscle atrophy, and narrow and shortened colon

Ulcerative Colitis
• Complications of Ulcerative colitis– Perforation and peritonitis with fistula
formation– Toxic megacolon– Hemorrhage– ^ risk of colon cancer– Malabsorption– Bowel obstruction

Ulcerative Colitis
• Diagnosis– H&P– CT– Stool exam– Sigmoidscopy– Colonoscopy– Barium enema– Lab studies

Ulcerative Colitis
• Medical treatment– Steriods
– Immunosuppressants
– Antidiarrheals
– Antibiotics
– Aminosalicylates (5-ASA)
– Iron and Vit B 12
– Low roughage diet
– No milk
– Sometimes TPN
– Surgery - total colectomy with ileostomy is the cure but not don until nothing else will work

• Nursing care– Report S/S of problems
– Provide emotional support
– Skin care
– Record # of stools and type
– Monitor bowel sounds
– Vitals and I/O

Crohn’s Disease
1. Both subjective and objective symptoms are relatively identical to colitis
2. Assessment are identical
3. Diagnostic tests are the same except:1. With Crohn’s will find string sign (segments of
stricture seperated by normal bowel)
2. With colonoscopy will find patchy areas of inflammations
3. Need biopsy for definitive diagnosis
