The Characterization of Small Bowel and Colonic Involvement in Patients With Seronegative Spondyloarthritides

NCT00768950 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 65

Last updated 2013-08-14

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Up to 60% of patients with Seronegative Spondyloarthritides have inflammation in the colon or ileum. This is usually asymptomatic, but in 5 to 10% of patients with SA, Frank IBD will develop. Lesions of the bowel could also be present in the SA patients because of the potential injury posed by the NSAIDS, a common used medication in this setting.

It is the bowel involvement in patients with SA that we propose to characterize, partly because there are scant communicated data in the medical literature, especially regarding small bowel lesions.
