Radiation Colitis

Background: Lower gastrointestinal bleeding (LGIB) is a common clinical condition associated with significant morbidity and mortality. The aims of our study were to determine the etiological profile, gender difference and age group patterns of LGIB in Nepal.Methods: A total of 415 consecutive patients presenting with LGIB from April 2011 to September 2014 underwent colonoscopy and the etiology of LGIB was determined. Each diagnosis was compared with respect to the gender and age group.Results: Among 415 LGIB patients (males 62.2%, females 37.8%), the different etiologies of LGIB were as following: hemorrhoid 35.2%, non-specific colitis 24.8%, colon polyp 18.3%, inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) 10.4%, colon cancer 6.5%, diverticulosis 1.7%, unknown 1.4%, upper gastrointestinal bleeding 1.2% and radiation colitis 0.5%. The overall LGIB was more common in male; however, colon polyps were diagnosed more commonly in female (p<0.001). Among LGIB patients, the hemorrhoid was more common in the age group of 30-49 years, colon polyp in 50-69 years, colon cancer in 70-84 years, and non-specific colitis and IBD in 16-29 years (p<0.001).Conclusion: Hemorrhoid and non-specific colitis were the common causes of LGIB in Nepal; colon polyp, IBD and colon cancer were the next common causes. More males presented with LGIB than females; however, colon polyp was diagnosed more in females, which needs to be explored further. When LGIB was presented after 50 years of age, the most likely causes were colon polyp and colon cancer; hence colonoscopy is recommended in all LGIB patients after 50 years.Journal of Advances in Internal Medicine 2014;3(2):52-55

Lower GI bleeding is a common cause for hospitalization in adults. Medication-associated mucosal injury is an important clinical entity that can result in significant morbidity and mortality. We present the case of a 45-year-old woman with a 3-month history of intermittent abdominal cramping and rectal bleeding. Her medical history was extensive and included end-stage renal disease and a remote history of endometrial carcinoma that was treated with radiation. Initial workup was concerning for ischemic and radiation colitis, however, histology was most consistent with acute inflammation and ulceration associated with crystal fragments. Sevelamer and cholestyramine are commonly used ion-exchange resins that have been associated with mucosal damage. Both medications were discontinued and her symptoms resolved. Our case highlights an underrecognized but important cause of hematochezia.

Fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) is a novel strategy for the therapy of dysbiosis-associated disorders via modulation of the gut microbiota. Intestinal dysbiosis is associated not only with digestive disorders, but also with a variety of extra-digestive disorders. A worldwide increasing number of FMT can be expected in the future as well as an increase in adverse events. We describe the case of a patient with chronic radiation colitis that developed adhesion ileus 2 days after FMT. Since these problems never occured before and the short time interval favours a causality, we speculate about FMT-induced alterations in gut motility causing a “trapping” of the small intestine in an adhesion and other mechanisms beyond “pure” coincidence.
