The Relationship

Aim. To review available literature data on the relationship between inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).Key findings. Current publications on IBD and IBS present different viewpoints on their relationship. Thus, researchers have noted a high incidence of IBD against the background of IBS, frequent persistence of IBS-like symptoms after achieving IBD remission, as well as the possibility of overlapping the diseases. According to literature data, IBD and IBS should be treated as different forms of the same disease. An opinion is expressed that IBS-like complaints in patients with IBD remission should be considered as a separate disease referred to as “irritated inflammatory intestinal syndrome”. Treatment of IBS-like symptoms in patients with IBD remission has thus far not been developed.Conclusion. The problem of the relationship between IBD and IBS is currently controversial, thus requiring further clarification.

Aim of review: To analyze current publications devoted to controversial issues of pathogenesis, diagnosis and differential diagnosis of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) in remission with IBS-like symptoms. Key points: There are three main hypotheses discussed in the literature: 1) IBS as a prodrome, pre-stage of the IBD; 2) IBS and IBD are different variants of inflammatory disorder which is common to both diseases; 3) The onset of IBS-like symptoms in IBD patients in remission. Conclusion: It is shown that modern literature data on this issue is contradictory and ambiguous.

Abstract Background Inflammatory bowel diseases are characterized by chronic inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract. In particular, Crohn disease and ulcerative colitis represent the two most common types of clinical manifestations. Extraintestinal manifestations of inflammatory bowel diseases represent a common complications, probably reflecting the systemic inflammation. Renal involvement is reported in 4–23% of cases. However, available data are limited to few case series and retrospective analysis, therefore the real impact of renal involvement is not well defined. Case presentation We report the case of a 10-years old male affected by very early onset unclassified-Inflammatory bowel diseases since he was 1-year old, presenting with a flare of inflammatory bowel diseases associated with acute kidney injury due to granulomatous interstitial nephritis. Of interest, at 7-year-old, he was treated for IgA nephropathy. To our knowledge, no previous reports have described a relapse of renal manifestation in inflammatory bowel diseases, characterized by two different clinical and histological phenotypes. Conclusions The link between the onset of kidney injuries with flares of intestinal inflammation suggest that nephritis maybe considered an extra-intestinal manifestation correlated with active inflammatory bowel disease. However, if granulomatous interstitial nephritis represents a cell-mediated hypersensitivity reaction than a true extraintestinal manifestation of inflammatory bowel diseases is still not clarified. We suggest as these renal manifestations here described may be interpreted as extraintestinal disorder and also considered as systemic signal of under treatment of the intestinal disease.
