Systematic review: Clinical phenotypes, histopathological features and prognosis of enteropathy due to angiotensin II receptor blockers. Aliment Pharmacol Ther 2024; 59:432-444. [PMID: 38185985 DOI: 10.1111/apt.17855] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/04/2023] [Revised: 06/21/2023] [Accepted: 12/18/2023] [Indexed: 01/09/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Although enteropathy due to angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs) has been known for over 10 years, clinicians' awareness of this condition is still low. AIMS To systematically review the literature about clinical phenotypes, distribution of mucosal changes throughout the gastrointestinal tract and prognosis of enteropathy due to ARBs. METHODS According to PRISMA guidelines, we searched PubMed and Embase for relevant articles up to November 6, 2023. We included full-text papers, letters, case reports and case series describing enteropathy due to ARBs. Patients were classified into subgroups based on endoscopic and histological findings of different regions of the gastrointestinal tract. The protocol was registered with Open Science Framework (https://doi.org/10.17605/OSF.IO/TK67C). RESULTS We included 94 articles reporting 183 cases (101 female, mean age at diagnosis 69 ± 10 years). The clinical picture at diagnosis was characterised by severe diarrhoea (97%) and weight loss (84%, median -13 kg), leading to hospital admission in 167 (95%) patients. Olmesartan (90%) was most frequently implicated. Villous atrophy (VA) was reported in 164/183 (89%) patients. One hundred and nine had only VA, 12 had pan-gastrointestinal involvement, 23 had VA and gastric involvement and 19 had VA and colon involvement (predominantly microscopic colitis). Outcomes were reported for 178/183 (97%) patients, who all recovered clinically on ARBs withdrawal. Histological recovery occurred in all 96 patients with VA at baseline who underwent follow-up duodenal biopsy. CONCLUSIONS Enteropathy due to ARBs is characterised by severe malabsorption often requiring hospital admission and can involve the entire gastrointestinal tract. Clinician awareness can lead to prompt diagnosis and excellent prognosis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study evaluated the prevalence and perioperative risk factors for early high-output ileostomy (EHOI) and developed a precise nomogram model to predict the occurrence of EHOI. METHODS 140 patients who underwent ileostomy surgery at three hospitals in Wuhan, Hubei Province, between January 2022 and May 2022 were enrolled in this prospective cohort study. By using univariate and multifactorial logistic regression, independent risk variables for the development of EHOI were examined, and the nomogram model for predicting the risk of EHOI was created by using R software. The calibration curve and area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC AUC) were used to evaluate the calibration and discrimination of the prediction model, Hosmer-Lemeshow to verify the fit of the model. Clinical impact curve (CIC) and decision curve analysis (DCA) were used to assess the model's clinical efficacy. RESULTS A total of 132 patients participated in the study, and the incidence of EHOI was 25.8% (34/132). The nomogram model incorporated 3 risk factors hypertension, drinking habits, and high white blood cell (WBC) count after surgery. The AUC was 0.742, and the nomogram showed great calibration and clinical validity by comparing the calibration curve, DCA, and CIC. CONCLUSIONS Hypertension, drinking, and high WBC was significantly correlated with EHOI. The nomogram model has great clinical value in predicting the EHOI.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Duodenal villous atrophy is due not only to coeliac disease and its complications but also to other rare enteropathies unrelated to gluten consumption, defined as noncoeliac enteropathies. The diagnosis of noncoeliac enteropathies remains challenging, and HLA typing has been widely used to exclude coeliac disease if DQ2 and DQ8 alleles are absent. However, the frequency of the various HLA alleles in noncoeliac enteropathies is still unknown. AIMS To describe the HLA genetic profile of patients affected by noncoeliac enteropathies who have been evaluated at our centres between 2000 and 2021, and to investigate the diagnostic role of HLA typing. METHODS Genomic DNA was collected from 44 Italian and 19 British adult patients with noncoeliac enteropathies. Patient genotypes were compared with those of healthy Italian and British populations obtained from HLA bone marrow donors' banks. In addition, genotypes were also compared with those of patients with coeliac disease and complicated coeliac disease. RESULTS Both in the Italian and in the British group, the DQA1*0102 DQB1*0602 haplotype and related alleles occurred significantly more frequently in patients with noncoeliac enteropathies compared to coeliac disease and complicated coeliac disease. CONCLUSIONS Together with negative HLA-DQ2 and DQ8 haplotypes, the DQA1*0102 DQB1*0602 haplotype can be used to guide the differential diagnosis between coeliac disease and noncoeliac enteropathies.

Abstract
AIMS Olmesartan, an angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB) used for hypertension management, is known to cause a sprue-like enteropathy in a subset of patients. Rare cases of gastritis occurring with ARB use have also been reported, but the histological features of ARB-induced gastritis and the response to drug cessation have not been examined in a dedicated case-series. METHODS AND RESULTS Cases of suspected ARB-induced gastritis were identified from the pathology archives of four institutions. Haematoxylin and eosin (H&E) slides from gastric biopsies were reviewed. Fifteen patients (14 female, one male) were identified. The most common presenting symptoms were diarrhoea (10) and weight loss (six). Gastric biopsies commonly showed a full-thickness active chronic gastritis with surface epithelial injury involving the antrum and body. Glandular atrophy, intra-epithelial lymphocytosis and/or subepithelial collagen thickening were also present in some cases. Duodenal involvement, including villous atrophy, intra-epithelial lymphocytosis and/or collagenous sprue, was identified in 11 of 13 cases with concurrent duodenal biopsies. Following drug cessation, symptomatic improvement occurred in all 11 cases for which follow-up data were available. Histological resolution occurred in five of eight cases with follow-up gastric biopsies, with improvement seen in the remaining three biopsies. CONCLUSION ARB-induced gastritis typically presents as active chronic gastritis, frequently with associated surface epithelial injury. Glandular atrophy, intra-epithelial lymphocytosis and/or subepithelial collagen thickening may also be present. These gastric changes can be seen without associated duodenal injury in rare cases, and they should alert the pathologist to the possibility of ARB-induced injury. Drug cessation results in marked symptomatic and histological improvement.

Nomenclature and diagnosis of seronegative coeliac disease and chronic non-coeliac enteropathies in adults: the Paris consensus. Gut 2022; 71:2218-2225. [PMID: 35676085 PMCID: PMC9554081 DOI: 10.1136/gutjnl-2021-326645] [Citation(s) in RCA: 20] [Impact Index Per Article: 10.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/29/2021] [Accepted: 05/02/2022] [Indexed: 01/21/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Differential diagnosis of villous atrophy (VA) without coeliac antibodies in adults includes seronegative coeliac disease (CD) and chronic enteropathies unrelated to gluten, ie. non-coeliac enteropathies (NCEs). There is currently no international consensus on the nomenclature and diagnostic criteria for these enteropathies. In this work, a Delphi process was conducted to address this diagnostic and clinical uncertainty. DESIGN An international task force of 13 gastroenterologists from six countries was recruited at the 16th International Coeliac Disease Symposium, Paris, 2019. Between September 2019 and July 2021, a Delphi process was conducted through mail surveys to reach a consensus on which conditions to consider in the differential diagnosis of VA with negative coeliac serology and the clinical diagnostic approaches required for these conditions. A 70% agreement threshold was adopted. RESULTS Chronic enteropathies characterised by VA and negative coeliac serology can be attributed to two main clinical scenarios: forms of CD presenting with negative serology, which also include seronegative CD and CD associated with IgA deficiency, and NCEs, with the latter recognising different underlying aetiologies. A consensus was reached on the diagnostic criteria for NCEs assisting clinicians in differentiating NCEs from seronegative CD. Although in adults seronegative CD is the most common aetiology in patients with VA and negative serology, discriminating between seronegative CD and NCEs is key to avoid unnecessary lifelong gluten-free diet, treat disease-specific morbidity and contrast poor long-term outcomes. CONCLUSION This paper describes the Paris consensus on the definitions and diagnostic criteria for seronegative CD and chronic NCEs in adults.

Front Pharmacol 2022; 13:815353. [PMID: 35431918 PMCID: PMC9009210 DOI: 10.3389/fphar.2022.815353] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/15/2021] [Accepted: 03/07/2022] [Indexed: 11/13/2022] Open
Abstract
The angiotensin II (type 1) (AT1) receptor blocker telmisartan (TEL) is beneficial for the treatment of individuals suffering from metabolic syndrome. As we have shown that TEL has an impact on gut microbiota, we investigated here whether TEL influences gut barrier function. C57BL/6N mice were fed with chow or high-fat diet (HFD) and treated with vehicle or TEL (8 mg/kg/day). Mucus thickness was determined by immunohistochemistry. Periodic Acid-Schiff staining allowed the number of goblet cells to be counted. Using western blots, qPCR, and immunohistochemistry, factors related to mucus biosynthesis (Muc2, St6galnac), proliferation (Ki-67), or necroptosis (Rip3) were measured. The influence on cell viability was determined in vitro by using losartan, as the water solubility of TEL was too low for in vitro experiments. Upon HFD, mice developed obesity as well as leptin and insulin resistance, which were prevented by TEL. Mucus thickness upon HFD-feeding was diminished. Independent of feeding, TEL additionally reduced mucus thickness. Numbers of goblet cells were not affected by HFD-feeding and TEL. St6galnac expression was increased by TEL. Rip3 was increased in TEL-treated and HFD-fed mice, while Ki-67 decreased. Cell viability was diminished by using >1 mM losartan. The anti-obese effect of TEL was associated with a decrease in mucus thickness, which was likely not related to a lower expression of Muc2 and goblet cells. A decrease in Ki-67 and increase in Rip3 indicates lower cell proliferation and increased necroptosis upon TEL. However, direct cell toxic effects are ruled out, as in vivo concentrations are lower than 1 mM.

Abstract
The differential diagnosis and treatment of seronegative enteropathy, also termed seronegative villous atrophy (SNVA), is a clinical challenge. Although seronegative coeliac disease (CD) is a frequent cause of SNVA, the aetiology can include immune-mediated, inflammatory, infectious, and drug-related forms. As a misdiagnosis of SNVA can result in patients being unnecessarily placed on a lifelong strict gluten-free diet or even given incorrect immunosuppressive therapy, the aim of this paper is to provide an evidence-based and practical approach for the workup and management of SNVA.
