Thromboembolic tendency (TE) in IBD (inflammatory bowel disease) patients

چکیده
BACKGROUND The incidence of TE events in IBD patients is higher then in population control. The main reason of it, is the hypercoaugulable state. Our aim was to detect serum markers related to TE, that can assume preventing and prognostic meanings. MATERIALS AND METHODS We performed a 3 years study on 71 patients with IBD, evaluating hypercoaugulability, and then we compared the results with a 71 patients non IBD group control. We also investigated patients of both groups concerning TE events occurred already. RESULTS In IBD group we found out that 16 patients (22.5%) had history of TE versus >1% of group control. Nineteen of them, already had knowledge of their previous hypercoaugulating condition. 48 (67%) had increased markers value versus less then 6% detected in group control. In IBD group 43% ,20% and 4.2% had respectively 1, 1-3 or > 3 markers higher levels then normal range. Among the markers investigated, we detected increased levels of plated in 33%, homocysteine in 26.7%, d-dimero 25.3%, c3 in 15.4%, apcr in 5.6%. CONCLUSIONS From our study we detected highest incidence of TE events, and hypercoaugulating status in IBD group. In our previous investigations, plated, homocysteine, d-dimero, c3, and apcr, seems to be the TE markers with higher sensibility. It seems reasonable, according our experience, to propose a new TE risk score index for IBD patients: low, mild and high risk respectively for patients with 1, 1-3 and >3 markers with higher serum levels then normal range. KEYWORDS Inflammatory bowel disease, Thromboembolism risk score.

Ulcerative colitis (UC), a member of the family of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), occurs worldwide. It has an incidence which in recent years has been rising in areas such as Southern Europe and Asia, while remaining relatively constant in Northern Europe and North America. Complications associated with UC include toxic dilatation, perforation, carcinoma and massive haemorrhage. Extra-intest...

BACKGROUND The occurrence of thromboembolic events (TE) is an important extraintestinal manifestation in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). The aim of this study was to compare fibrinolysis and clot lysis parameters between (1) patients with IBD and healthy controls and (2) patients with IBD with TE (IBD + TE) and without TE (IBD - TE). METHODS One hundred thirteen healthy contro...

OBJECTIVE Patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) are at increased risk of having venous thromboembolism. The magnitude of this risk has yet to be determined. The question of whether IBD patients have an increased risk of arterial thromboembolism and cardiovascular (CV) mortality remains controversial.

Background: Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a group of disorders that cause chronic inflammation (pain and swelling) in the intestines. IBD includes Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis. Both types affect the digestive system. The study aims to compare coping strategies in people with inflammatory bowel disease and healthy people, according to internal and external sources of health contr...

Background: Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) involves chronic inflammation of the digestive tract. In the past decades, fecal calprotectin has been proposed as a useful biomarker for the differential diagnosis between IBD patients and healthy controls. We designed this study to evaluate the diagnostic ability of fecal calprotectin (FC) and conventional inflammatory markers in IBD patients. M...
