Pulmonary Function Test Abnormalities in Pediatric Inflammatory Bowel Disease

Pulmonary Function Test Abnormalities in Pediatric Inflammatory Bowel Disease.

BACKGROUND Pulmonary involvement in adult patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) seems more common than previously appreciated. Its prevalence and development over time in pediatric IBD patients are largely unknown. OBJECTIVES The aim was to study lung function including fraction of exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO) and transfer capacity for carbon monoxide (TLCO) in pediatric IBD patients ...

pulmonary function abnormalities in patients with inflammatory bowel disease

background: there is evidence that pulmonary function abnormalities are present in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (ibd). the aim of this case-control study was to assess the frequency of pulmonary dysfunction in patients with ibd. materials and methods: pulmonary function of 37 patients with ibd (8 with cd and 29 with uc) without any known pulmonary disease was tested by body-box plet...

Pulmonary abnormalities in inflammatory bowel disease.

Extraintestinal manifestations of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a common clinical problem affecting up to half of all IBD patients; pulmonary disease, however, ranks among less common extraintestinal manifestations of IBD. Pulmonary disease in patients with IBD is most frequently drug induced due to treatment with sulfasalazine or mesalamine leading to eosinophilic pneumonia and fibrosing...

Nutritional abnormalities in inflammatory bowel disease.

Nutrition in pediatric inflammatory bowel disease.

Nutrition interventions play a central role in the treatment and management of inflammatory bowel disease in children. Malnutrition is a common presenting symptom in both pediatric ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease and is associated with increased morbidity. Providing macronutrients can improve growth; likewise, identifying and correcting micronutrient deficiencies can improve comorbid con...
