How You Can Help Inflammatory Bowel Disease T Diagnosis Top of Page Treatment A combination of dietary management and medical therapy will successfully manage IBD in most cats. Because there is no single best treatment, your veterinarian may need to try several different combinations in order to determine the best therapy for your cat. DIETARY MANAGEMENT Sensitivity to food antigens contributes to the gastrointestinal inflammation in some cats, so a change in diet often provides symptomatic relief. Several balanced commercial diets have been advocated as effective in treating IBD. MEDICAL THERAPY Corticosteroids are commonly used to treat cats with IBD. These drugs have potent anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive properties with relatively few side effects in cats. Additionally, corticosteroids may stimulate the appetite and enhance intestinal sodium and water absorption. Oral prednisone is the corticosteroid used most frequently because of its short duration of action and availability in appropriate tablet sizes. If necessary, injectable corticosteroid therapy can be used in cats that are too difficult to medicate orally or if vomiting and malabsorption is severe. If none of these medications successfully control the signs, more potent immunosuppressive drugs may be necessary, but they necessitate closer monitoring by your veterinarian.

4. Current Medical Therapy For Inflammatory Bowel Disease Article detailing medications used to treat IBD. http://www.sma.org/smj/96jun2.htm

Current Medical Therapy for Inflammatory Bowel Disease GREGORY F. BONNER, MD, Fort Lauderdale, Fla ABSTRACT: Traditional medical therapy for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) includes corticosteroids and sulfasalazine. In recent years, several mesalamine derivatives of sulfasalazine have become available. These allow delivery of increased dosages of active medication with minimal side effects. Newer steroid preparations, all investigational at this point, likely will offer efficacy similar to that of prednisone but with an improved side effect profile. Immunosuppressive agents, including 6-mercaptopurine, azathioprine, and likely also methotrexate, are beneficial in treating refractory IBD, particularly in patients with chronic steroid dependence. Cyclosporine has been shown to be remarkably effective in delaying colectomy for severe ulcerative colitis, but its long-term role remains uncertain. Standard medical therapy for inflammatory bowel disease is predominantly based on the use of oral or topical preparations of steroids and aminosalicylates. Efficacy of prednisone and sulfasalazine has been revealed for four decades. In recent years, an assortment of new aminosalicylate derivatives of sulfasalazine have become available, offering new strategies for treatment of moderately active IBD as well as for maintenance therapy. Research into more locally active steroid preparations with the hope of an improved side effect profile is ongoing. Additionally, increasing evidence has become available supporting the use of immunosuppressive agents for refractory IBD.

KidsHealth Parents Medical Problems Digestive System The digestive system is a set of organs (including the stomach, large and small intestines, rectum, and others) that convert the foods we eat into nutrients and absorb these nutrients into the bloodstream to fuel our bodies. We seldom notice its workings unless something goes wrong, as in the case of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).

In ulcerative colitis, sores (ulcers) develop in the mucosa, or inner lining of the colon or rectum, causing diarrhea, blood, and pus. Inflammation is usually most severe in the sigmoid and rectum and usually diminishes higher in the colon. The disease develops uniformly and consistently until, in some cases, the colon becomes rigid and foreshortened. For more information on Ulcerative Colitis, please see the National Digestive Diseases Information Clearinghouse (http://www.niddk.nih.gov/health/digest/pubs/colitis/colitis.htm). Crohn's Disease Crohn's disease is inflammation that extends into the deeper layers of the intestinal wall. It occurs most often in the ileum and the cecum (sometimes called the ileocecal region) . Crohn's disease can, however, develop in any part of the gastrointestinal tract, including the anus, stomach, esophagus, and even the mouth. It may affect the entire colon, develop as a string of contiguous ulcers in one part of the colon, or develop as multiple scattered clusters of ulcers with healthy tissue in between.

These symptoms can range from mild to severe, and may gradually and subtly develop from an initial minor discomfort, or may present themselves suddenly with acute intensity. IBD is a prevalent cause of chronic illness in a large segment of the patient population. It can manifest itself in two different forms: Ulcerative Colitis (UC) and Crohn's Disease (CD). Although the two conditions can appear clinically very similar, UC primarily involves inflammation of the colon and rectum, as opposed to the upper GI tract. Crohn's Disease, on the other hand, impacts a greater area of the upper intestinal digestive tract, and is thus more likely to trigger malabsorption, along with chronic vitamin and nutrient deficiencies.

Inflammatory Bowel Diseases Return to the tutorial menu. The images below have file sizes ranging from 50 to 250k. Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) can involve either or both the small and large bowel. Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis are the best known forms of IBD, and both fall into the category of "idiopathic" inflammatory bowel disease because the etiology for them is unknown. Pathologic findings are generally not specific, although they may suggest a particular form of IBD. "Active" IBD is characterized by acute inflammation. "Chronic" IBD is characterized by architectural changes of crypt distortion and scarring. Crypt abscesses (active IBD consisting of neutrophils in crypt lumens) can occur in many forms of IBD, not just ulcerative colitis. Ulcerative Colitis Ulcerative colitis (UC) involves the colon as a diffuse mucosal disease with distal predominance. The rectum is virtually always involved, and additional portions of colon may be involved extending proximally from the rectum in a continuous pattern. The etiology for UC is unknown. UC is more common in persons of Caucasian race, in women, and in young persons (peak incidence at ages 20 - 25 years). Clinical findings can include diarrhea, but the amount of diarrheal stool is not great, and is often accompanied by tenesmus. Patients with prolonged UC are at increased risk for developing colon cancer. Colonic biopsy can be used to detect dysplasia, a neoplastic change in the mucosa which implies an increased probability of malignancy. Patients with UC are also at risk for development of liver diseases including sclerosing cholangitis and bile duct carcinoma.
