Abstract
INTRODUCTION Haemorheological and haemostatic changes predispose to the development of arterial and venous thrombotic events; however, limited information is available on the status of these changes in coeliac disease (CeD) and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). In this study, we aim to describe the haemorheological and haemostatic profiles of CeD and IBD patients in a Hungarian cohort of patients to investigate whether any alterations contribute to elevated thrombotic risk. METHODS AND ANALYSIS This is a case-control study involving newly diagnosed and followed CeD and IBD patients with age-matched and sex-matched non-CeD, non-IBD subjects with an allocation ratio of 1:1:1.After informed consent is obtained, a detailed medical history will be collected, including venous and arterial thrombotic risk factors and medications. Symptoms in CeD patients will be assessed with the Gastrointestinal Symptoms Rating Scale, and disease activity in IBD patients will be determined by disease-specific scores. Dietary adherence will be assessed among CeD patients with a thorough interview together with a measurement of self-reported adherence, dietary knowledge and urine analysis (detection of gluten immunogenic peptides). In addition to routine laboratory parameters, haemorheological (ie, erythrocyte deformability and aggregation, viscosity of whole blood and plasma) and haemostatic parameters (eg, protein C, protein S and antithrombin) with immunological indicators (ie, coeliac-specific serology and antiphospholipid antibodies) will be measured from venous blood for every participant.Primary and secondary outcomes will be haemorheological and haemostatic parameters, respectively. Univariate and multivariate statistics will be used to compare CeD and IBD patients to control subjects. Subgroup analysis will be performed by disease type in IBD, (Crohn's disease and ulcerose colitis), dietary adherence in CeD, and disease activity in IBD and CeD. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION The study was approved by the Regional and Local Research Ethics Committee, University of Pécs (Ref. No. 6917). Findings will be disseminated at research conferences and in peer-reviewed journals. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER ISRCTN49677481.

Prevalence, significance and predictive value of antiphospholipid antibodies in Crohn’s disease. World J Gastroenterol 2015; 21:6952-6964. [PMID: 26078573 PMCID: PMC4462737 DOI: 10.3748/wjg.v21.i22.6952] [Citation(s) in RCA: 18] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/31/2014] [Revised: 03/01/2015] [Accepted: 04/09/2015] [Indexed: 02/06/2023] Open
Abstract
AIM: To assess the prevalence and stability of different antiphospholipid antibodies (APLAs) and their association with disease phenotype and progression in inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) patients.
METHODS: About 458 consecutive patients [Crohn’s disease (CD): 271 and ulcerative colitis (UC): 187] were enrolled into a follow-up cohort study in a tertiary IBD referral center in Hungary. Detailed clinical phenotypes were determined at enrollment by reviewing the patients’ medical charts. Disease activity, medical treatment and data about evolvement of complications or surgical interventions were determined prospectively during the follow-up. Disease course (development f complicated disease phenotype and need for surgery), occurrence of thrombotic events, actual state of disease activity according to clinical, laboratory and endoscopic scores and accurate treatment regime were recorded during the follow-up, (median, 57.4 and 61.6 mo for CD and UC). Sera of IBD patients and 103 healthy controls (HC) were tested on individual anti-β2-Glycoprotein-I (anti-β2-GPI IgA/M/G), anti-cardiolipin (ACA IgA/M/G) and anti-phosphatidylserine/prothrombin (anti-PS/PT IgA/M/G) antibodies and also anti-Saccharomyces cerevisiae antibodies (ASCA IgA/G) by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). In a subgroup of CD (n = 198) and UC patients (n = 103), obtaining consecutive samples over various arbitrary time-points during the disease course, we evaluated the intraindividual stability of the APLA status. Additionally, we provide an overview of studies, performed so far, in which significance of APLAs in IBD were assessed.
RESULTS: Patients with CD had significantly higher prevalence of both ACA (23.4%) and anti-PS/PT (20.4%) antibodies than UC (4.8%, P < 0.0001 and 10.2%, P = 0.004) and HC (2.9%, P < 0.0001 and 15.5%, P = NS). No difference was found for the prevalence of anti-β2-GPI between different groups (7.2%-9.7%). In CD, no association was found between APLA and ASCA status of the patients. Occurrence of anti-β2-GPI, ACA and anti-PS/PT was not different between the group of patients with active vs inactive disease state according to appropriate clinical, laboratory and endoscopic scores in CD as well as in UC patients. All subtypes of anti-β2-GPI and ACA IgM status were found to be very stable over time, in contrast ACA IgG and even more ACA IgA status showed significant intraindividual changes. Changes in antibody status were more remarkable in CD than UC (ACA IgA: 49.9% vs 23.3% and ACA IgG: 21.2% vs 5.8%). Interestingly, 59.1% and 30.1% of CD patients who received anti-TNF therapy showed significant negative to positive changes in ACA IgA and IgG antibody status respectively. APLA status was not associated with the clinical phenotype at diagnosis or during follow-up, medical therapy, or thrombotic events and it was not associated with the probability of developing complicated disease phenotype or surgery in a Kaplan-Meier analysis.
CONCLUSION: The present study demonstrated enhanced formation of APLAs in CD patients. However, presence of different APLAs were not associated with the clinical phenotype or disease course.

Abstract
Inflammatory bowel disease affects more than 2 million people in Europe, with almost 20% of patients being diagnosed in pediatric age. Patients with inflammatory bowel disease are at increased risk of thromboembolic complications which may affect patients’ morbidity and mortality. The risk of the most common thromboembolic events, such as deep venous thrombosis and pulmonary embolism, are estimated to be three-fold increased compared to controls, but many other districts can be affected. Moreover, patients with ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease experience thromboembolic events at a younger age compared to general population. Many factors have been investigated as determinants of the pro-thrombotic tendency such as acquired risk factors or genetic and immune abnormalities, but a unique cause has not been found. Many efforts have been focused on the study of abnormalities in the coagulation cascade, its natural inhibitors and the fibrinolytic system components and both quantitative and qualitative alterations have been demonstrated. Recently the role of platelets and microvascular endothelium has been reviewed, as the possible link between the inflammatory and hemostatic process.

Abstract
Patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) may have an increased risk of venous thrombosis (VTE). PubMed, ISI Web of Knowledge and Scopus were searched to identify studies investigating the risk of VTE and the prevalence of acquired and genetic VTE risk factors and prothrombotic abnormalities in IBD. Overall, IBD patients have a two- to fourfold increased risk of VTE compared with healthy controls, with an overall incidence rate of 1%-8%. The majority of studies did not show significant differences in the risk of VTE between Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis. Several acquired factors are responsible for the increased risk of VTE in IBD: inflammatory activity, hospitalisation, surgery, pregnancy, disease phenotype (e.g., fistulising disease, colonic involvement and extensive involvement) and drug therapy (mainly steroids). There is also convincing evidence from basic science and from clinical and epidemiological studies that IBD is associated with several prothrombotic abnormalities, including initiation of the coagulation system, downregulation of natural anticoagulant mechanisms, impairment of fibrinolysis, increased platelet count and reactivity and dysfunction of the endothelium. Classical genetic alterations are not generally found more often in IBD patients than in non-IBD patients, suggesting that genetics does not explain the greater risk of VTE in these patients. IBD VTE may have clinical specificities, namely an earlier first episode of VTE in life, high recurrence rate, decreased efficacy of some drugs in preventing further episodes and poor prognosis. Clinicians should be aware of these risks, and adequate prophylactic actions should be taken in patients who have disease activity, are hospitalised, are submitted to surgery or are undergoing treatment.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE. Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) can be associated with hypercoagulable disorders. Aim of this single-center, prospective study was an in-depth evaluation of acquired hypercoagulable states in IBD patients. METHODS. A total of 110 patients with Crohn's disease (CD) (aged 19-69; mean 40.5, median 38.5 years), 43 with ulcerative colitis (UC) (aged 17-72; mean 42, median 36 years), and 30 controls were enrolled. Full blood count, serum C-reactive protein (CRP), proteins C and S, activated protein C (APC) resistance, thrombin-antithrombin complex (TAT), F1+F2 fragments, tissue factor pathway inhibitor (TFPI) total and truncated, TFPI-factor Xa, tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) and PAI-I antigen were investigated in peripheral blood samples. RESULTS. Only 18 of 153 (11.8%) IBD patients had hemocoagulation parameters within normal range. Significant difference between IBD patients and controls was found in thrombocyte volume (p < 0.001), protein C (p = 0.025), protein S (p = 0.003), APC resistance (p < 0.001), F1+F2 fragments (p < 0.001), and tPA (p = 0.002). In CD patients who were divided into two subgroups according to serum CRP values (non-active disease: <5 mg/L; active disease ≥5 mg/L), thrombocyte count was significantly lower (p = 0.001), thrombocyte volume was significantly higher (p = 0.002), F1+F2 fragments were significantly lower (p = 0.007) and tPA was significantly higher (p = 0.038) in the subgroup with CRP <5 mg/L. In UC patients, no significant difference depending on CRP was found. CONCLUSIONS. Acquired hypercoagulable abnormalities in IBD patients are frequent. Patients with active CD, but not UC, displayed significantly different hemocoagulable parameters, when compared to non-active CD/UC subjects. In patients with active CD (with increased serum CRP concentration) and patients with active extensive UC found at endoscopy (despite low CRP values), prophylactic anticoagulation therapy should be considered.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) usually affects the gastrointestinal tract, although some patients can also develop extraintestinal manifestations, such as vascular symptoms both venous and arterial ones. The former being more frequent than the latter. CLINICAL REPORT We report the case of a 62-year-old male, diagnosed of Crohńs disease (CD) (A3,L1+L4,B3), admitted to hospital for treatment of a retroperitoneal abscess. He presented a peripheral arterial thromboembolism during his stay, which required urgent embolectomy. After anticoagulation with low-molecular-weight heparin (LMWH), vascular magnetic resonance imaging revealed a large thrombus involving the descent aorta, which was solved with surgery and long-term anticoagulation. CONCLUSION Peripheral arterial thrombosis is a rare extraintestinal manifestation of IBD. Nevertheless it is always important to consider it in patients with IBD. Prophylactic treatment should be made with low-molecular-weight heparin (LMWH) and definitive treatment with a combination of LMWH and surgery.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Testing for genetic risks of Factor V Leiden ( FVL ) in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients with thromboembolism (TE) is common, but the safety and utility of such testing need review. AIM The aim of the present study was to investigate whether the FVL polymorphisms would be one inherited prothrombotic risk factor that could significantly increase the risk of thrombosis in patients with IBD. METHODS We performed an electronic databases search to identify published studies correlating the FVL mutations with four populations including one IBD group with TE complications, one control IBD group without TE complications, one control non-IBD group with TE complications and another healthy control (HC) group. Statistical analysis was performed with Review Manager (RevMan) 5.0. Sub-analysis/sensitivity analysis was also performed. RESULTS We identified 112 titles and included 22 studies in this meta-analysis. The odds ratio (OR) of TE in IBD patients with FVL was higher as compared with IBD patients (OR: 4.00; 95%CI: 2.04, 7.87) and HC (OR: 3.19; 95%CI: 1.38, 7.36). There was a 1.25-fold (95%CI: 0.90-1.74) increase in incidence of FVL gene mutation in IBD patients compared with HC. The FVL mutations were not significantly different between IBD patients with thrombosis and non-IBD patients with thrombosis (OR: 0.79; 95%CI: 0.43, 1.47). CONCLUSION FVL plays a role in IBD-TE, but to no greater extent than it does in the general population with TE.

Abstract
Inflammation and coagulation constantly influence each other and are constantly in balance. Emerging evidence supports this statement in acute inflammatory diseases, such as sepsis, but it also seems to be very important in chronic inflammatory settings, such as inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Patients with Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis have an increased risk of thromboembolic events, and several abnormalities concerning coagulation components occur in the endothelial cells of intestinal vessels, where most severe inflammatory abnormalities occur. The aims of this review are to update and classify the type of coagulation system abnormalities in IBD, and analyze the strict and delicate balance between coagulation and inflammation at the mucosal level. Recent studies on possible therapeutic applications arising from investigations on coagulation abnormalities associated with IBD pathogenesis will also be briefly presented and critically reviewed.

Abstract
Overwhelming evidence has linked inflammatory disorders to a hypercoagulable state. In fact, thromboembolic complications are among the leading causes of disability and death in many acute and chronic inflammatory diseases. Despite this clinical knowledge, coagulation and immunity were long regarded as separate entities. Recent studies have unveiled molecular underpinnings of the intimate interconnection between both systems. The studies have clearly shown that distinct pro-inflammatory stimuli also activate the clotting cascade and that coagulation in turn modulates inflammatory signaling pathways. In this review, we use evidence from sepsis and inflammatory bowel diseases as a paradigm for acute and chronic inflammatory states in general and rise hypotheses how a systematic molecular understanding of the "inflammation-coagulation" crosstalk may result in novel diagnostic and therapeutic strategies that target the inflammation-induced hypercoagulable state.

Abstract
Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a rare cause of cerebral sinus thrombosis. We describe a 10-year-old patient with UC who developed cerebral sinus thrombosis during an acute exacerbation of his colitis and was found to be heterozygous for factor V Leiden. He was successfully treated with enoxaparin. Enoxaparin was then used for prophylaxis during acute exacerbations of his UC without any recurrence/progression of cerebral venous thrombosis. This report describes a cerebral thrombotic event in a child with UC and factor V Leiden.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIMS Thromboembolic disease has been recognized as a complication of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). The relative contributions of inherited or acquired thrombophilia and the inflammatory response to the mechanism of this tendency are unclear. Thrombotic events are more common in active disease although significant numbers also occur spontaneously. The aim of this study was to investigate common thrombophilic markers in patients with active IBD. METHODS Twenty-six patients with IBD who had active disease, and 40 sex- and age-matched non-IBD patients were recruited into the study. For all the subjects, complete blood counts, C-reactive protein levels, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, International normalized ratio, activated partial thromboplastin time, and levels of lupus anticoagulant, anticardiolipin antibodies (ACA IgG), proteins C and S, antithrombin-III (AT-III), and factor V were measured. RESULTS The International normalized ratio, activated partial thromboplastin time, and levels of proteins C and S were comparable between the two groups. However, antithrombin-III levels were significantly lower in the IBD group as compared with that in the healthy control group (P < 0.001). ACA IgG was detected in one patient in the IBD group. Factor V Leiden mutation was present in 3.8% of the patients in the IBD group, whereas the prevalence was 2.5% in the control group. Significantly elevated platelet counts were observed in patients with active Crohn's disease compared with that in the control group (P < 0.001), but they were not significantly increased in active ulcerative colitis (P = 0.231). CONCLUSIONS The present study failed to establish a strong association between the common thrombophilic markers and the active clinical course of IBD, with the exception of high platelet counts and lower levels of AT-III in the IBD group as compared with those in the control group. All other parameters of thrombophilia were comparable between the two groups.

Abstract
Thrombosis is a recognised complication of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), in particular venous thrombosis. Arterial thrombosis, especially stroke is rare. There is a paucity of information regarding stroke in IBD and its management. The authors describe two cases of stroke in patients with IBD during periods of increased disease activity. The literature regarding this devastating complication and the procoagulant state that exists in IBD are reviewed.
