  1. Complications of Ulcerative Colitis Leah Wendland Sodexo Mid-Atlantic Intern February 1st 2013

  2. Objectives • Be able to identify intestinal complications of UC • Be able to identify an extraintestinal complication of UC • Identify a potential treatment of UC and potential side effects of this treatment

  3. Ulcerative Colitis (UC) “Approximately 10% of ulcerative colitis (UC) patients require a colectomy within 10years of diagnosis”

  4. Ulcerative Colitis (UC) a type of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) that affects the lining of the large intestine (colon) and rectum

  5. Intestinal Complications of UC • Malnutrition/Malabsorption • Bleeding • anemia • Intestinal Infections • Colorectal cancers • Colectomy

  6. Extraintestional Complications • Arthritis • Diminished bone health • Liver and Gall Bladder disorders • primary sclerosingcholangitis (PSC) • cirrhosis • Thromboembolism • Kidney stones

  7. Treatments for UC • Diet/Nutrition • Medication • Aminosalicylates • Corticosteroids • Immunosuppressants • Surgery

  8. Long term effects of UC medication • Corticosteroids (prednisolone, methylprednisolone) • Weight gain, excessive facial hair, HTN, Hyperglycemia, osteoporosis/weakened bones • Anti-inflammatory • Aminosalicylates (mesalamine,balsalazide) • nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, heartburn and headache • Anti-inflammatory • Immunosuppresents (Azasan, Imuran) • Increased risk of infection/opportunistic infections • Anti-inflammatory

  9. Nutrition Therapy for UC • Low- fiber diet during flare up • High-fiber diet while in remission • Possible lactose, gluten or wheat intolerance • Modify diet to fit needs of individual pt • No nuts, seeds, skins, popcorn etc.

  10. AS 47 y/o F • Admitted 12/14 to post acute care/rehab floor • Patient admitted to this floor for PT 2° deconditioning • Antibiotic therapy

  11. PMH • Ulcerative Colitis • s/pcolectomy 2° severe colitis • HTN • GERD • Recurrent renal stones • Arthritis • Appendectomy • Ulcerative Colitis • Diagnosis 1996 • 16 years w/o major complications

  12. Medical Diagnosis • S/P total colectomy with end ileostomy • c/b rupture of Hartmann’s stump • With perihepatic and intra-abdominal abscesses • Requiring antibiotic therapy • Deconditioning

  13. Colectomy with End Ileostomy

  14. Hartmann’s Stump

  15. Location of Abscesses

  16. Social History • Single • Lives alone • Has 2 grown children • No reported drug or tobacco use

  17. Nutrition Assessment Anthropometric Subjective/Objective Pt consuming >75% meals Stage 2 wound on buttock Surgical wound on abdomen (healing) Intra-abdominal abcesses • Ht: 5’2” (156cm) • Wt: 193# (87.6kg) • Adj Wt: 130# (59kg) • BMI: 34

  18. Nutrition Related Medication • Multivitamin • Hydrochlorothiazide • Folic Acid • Ranitidine • Zofran

  19. Labs

  20. Nutrition Dx Increased Nutrient Needs r/t wound healing a/e/b Stage 2 wound on buttock and surgical abdominal wound Unintentional Wt. Loss r/t medical course with low intake and increased needs a/e/b pt reporting ~20# wt loss in <1month

  21. Diet and Estimated Needs • Regular Diet • >75% intake first visit • Ensure Complete TID • Caloric Needs: 30-35kcal/kg • 30-35x adj BW59kg= 1770-2065kcal • Protein Needs: 1.3-1.5g/kg • 1.3-1.5gx adj BW 59kg= 77-89g

  22. Intervention and M/E • Nutrition Intervention: • Rec Ensure Complete TID • Continue multivitamin, folic acid • Monitoring and Evaluation • PO/Supplement intake: pt to meet ≥75% estimated needs • Weight: Pt to maintain weight +/- 3% in one month • Lab Values: monitor nutrition related lab values WNL

  23. Follow Up • 12/19: *my first contact • Reported N/V • Provided new diagnosis • Altered GI function r/tcolectomy and recent hospital course a/e/b Pt reporting N/V, hxileostomy and colectomy • Medications added • Warfarin • Provided ileostomy nutrition education as well as Vit K/ warfarin education

  24. Evaluation of Compliance • AS was actively engaged in education • Asked questions • Provided feedback on supplement and food • Pt appeared to be motivated
