Prevalence of Hepatobiliary Manifestations in Inflammatory Bowel Disease: A GRADE Assessed Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of more than 1.7 Million Patients. J Crohns Colitis 2024; 18:360-374. [PMID: 37695111 DOI: 10.1093/ecco-jcc/jjad157] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/07/2023] [Revised: 08/21/2023] [Accepted: 09/08/2023] [Indexed: 09/12/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Inflammatory bowel disease [IBD] comprises an immune-mediated group of chronic gastrointestinal disorders. Patients with IBD may experience extraintestinal manifestations, such as hepatobiliary complications. This meta-analysis aims to assess the prevalence of different hepatic manifestations in IBD patients. METHODS For this systematic review and meta-analysis, PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and Embase were searched until July 20, 2022, by specifying keywords for IBD, hepatic manifestations, and study type. Full texts of cohort studies in English that examined the prevalence of different hepatic manifestations were included in this study. The primary outcome was the overall prevalence of hepatic manifestations in IBD patients. For the statistical analysis, a proportion by random effect model meta-analysis was performed. The registration number for the protocol of this study in PROSPERO is CRD42022369595. RESULTS From the 4421 articles retrieved from the primary search, 118 met the inclusion criteria and were included in the final analysis. After a pooled analysis of 1 729 128 patients, the overall prevalence of hepatic manifestations was 3.49% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 3.31-3.68%; I2: 99.55%). The pooled prevalence of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease in 228 216 patients was 26.1% [95% CI: 22.1-30.2%; I2: 99.018%]. After pooled analysis of 9642 patients, the prevalence of primary sclerosing cholangitis was 1.67% [95% CI: 1.47-1.88%; I2: 99.10%]. The pooled prevalence of biliary stones was 4.1% [95% CI: 3.6-4.7%; I2: 97.43%]. Autoimmune hepatitis (0.51% [95% CI: 0.26-0.75%]; I2: 85.36%) and portal vein thrombosis (0.21% [95% CI: 0.08-0.33%]; I2: 97.95%) are considered as rare manifestations. CONCLUSION This study summarizes the prevalence and importance of different hepatic manifestations in IBD patients. These findings are crucial for the management of extraintestinal manifestations, especially hepatic manifestations, in IBD patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The coexistence of inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs) and uveitis has been known for 100 years. The reported frequency by which these conditions appear in the same patient has varied considerably. The aim of this study was to investigate the occurrence of uveitis in a well-defined population-based cohort of patients with IBD including all age groups and followed for at least 10 years. METHOD AND ANALYSIS All newly diagnosed patients with ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease in the county of Uppsala between 2005 and 2009 were prospectively followed. At the end of 2022, the medical notes were checked and all contacts with the healthcare system regarding ocular symptoms were scrutinised. RESULTS A total of 330 patients with ulcerative colitis and 153 patients with Crohn's disease were included in the cohort. Four hundred and forty-two of these (91.5%) could be followed for 10 years or until death. Thirteen patients with ulcerative colitis were affected by uveitis (3.9%), and one of the patients with Crohn's disease (0.7%). Most often the uveitis was diagnosed after the bowel disease (median 8.9 years, 7.7 years SD). CONCLUSION Low occurrence of uveitis was identified in the IBD population. All affected individuals except one were diagnosed with ulcerative colitis. Most of the patients had their eye disease around 10 years later than their IBD diagnosis. It is suggested that systemic anti-inflammatory treatment for the IBD protects against intraocular inflammation in this cohort.

AGPAT1 as a Novel Colonic Biomarker for Discriminating Between Ulcerative Colitis With and Without Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis. Clin Transl Gastroenterol 2022; 13:e00486. [PMID: 35363634 PMCID: PMC9132532 DOI: 10.14309/ctg.0000000000000486] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/13/2021] [Accepted: 03/15/2022] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Ulcerative colitis (UC) associated with primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC-UC) is considered a unique inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) entity. PSC diagnosis in an IBD individual entails a significantly higher risk of gastrointestinal cancer; however, biomarkers for identifying patients with UC at risk for PSC are lacking. We, therefore, performed a thorough PSC-UC biomarker study, starting from archived colonic tissue. METHODS Proteins were extracted out of formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded proximal colon samples from PSC-UC (n = 9), UC (n = 7), and healthy controls (n = 7). Patients with IBD were in clinical and histological remission, and all patients with UC had a history of pancolitis. Samples were processed by the multienzyme digestion FASP and subsequently analyzed by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. Candidate proteins were replicated in an independent cohort (n: PSC-UC = 16 and UC = 21) and further validated by immunohistochemistry. RESULTS In the discovery step, 7,279 unique proteins were detected. The top 5 most differentiating proteins (PSC-UC vs UC) based on linear regression analysis were selected for replication. Of these, 1-acetylglycerol-3-phosphate O-acyltransferase 1 (AGPAT1) was verified as higher in PSC-UC than UC (P = 0.009) in the replication cohort. A difference on the group level was also confirmed by immunohistochemistry, showing more intense AGPAT1 staining in patients with PSC-UC compared with UC. DISCUSSION We present AGPAT1 as a potential colonic biomarker for differentiating PSC-UC from UC. Our findings have possible implication for future PSC-IBD diagnostics and surveillance.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) is a rare, chronic, and progressive cholestatic disease involving intra- and/or extrahepatic bile ducts. PSC in many patients results in end-stage liver diseases. Nearly 60% of the PSC patients suffer from concomitant inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs). Classically, IBDs are divided into two principle types: Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC). However, with growing knowledge, PSC-associated IBD (PSC-IBD) seems to be a rather distinct entity with specific genetics, clinical, and microbiota characteristics. AREAS COVERED In this article, we aim to review the unique characteristics of PSC-IBD from clinical, genetic, and microbiota point of view. EXPERT OPINION PSC-IBD's unique characteristics contribute to the notion that it could be a distinct entity. Acknowledgment of PSC-IBD as a novel entity necessitates designing new clinical guidelines for diagnosis and developing novel therapies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS Although the association between inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) is well recognized, uncertainties remain about the magnitude of this problem. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis assessing prevalence of PSC in IBD to investigate whether type of IBD, how presence of PSC was defined, sex, disease extent or location, time period, or geographic location influenced prevalence. METHODS Medline, Embase, and Embase Classic were searched (from inception to April 10, 2021) to identify observational studies recruiting ≥50 adult patients with IBD and reporting prevalence of PSC. Data were extracted, and pooled prevalence, odds ratios (ORs), and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) calculated. RESULTS Of 1204 citations, 64 studies were eligible, containing 776,700 patients. Overall, pooled prevalence of PSC in IBD was 2.16%; it was highest in South America and lowest in Southeast Asia. Pooled prevalences in patients with ulcerative colitis (UC), Crohn's disease (CD), and IBD-unclassified were 2.47%, 0.96%, and 5.01%, respectively. Pooled prevalence was significantly higher in UC versus CD (OR 1.69, 95% CI 1.24-2.29). In subgroup analyses according to method used to define presence of PSC, the highest prevalence was 2.88% in studies performing both liver biochemistry and endoscopic retrograde/magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography and the lowest was 1.79% in studies using a clinical diagnosis. Prevalence was generally higher in men, patients with more extensive, compared with left-side, UC or ileocolonic or colonic, compared with ileal, CD. CONCLUSIONS Our findings provide the first pooled estimates of the burden of PSC in IBD, as well as potential risk factors, which may be important in establishing a prompt diagnosis and initiating appropriate surveillance for relevant gastrointestinal malignancies.

Abstract
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is associated with extra-intestinal manifestations (EIMs) that tend to parallel intestinal activity and have a debilitating effect on the quality of life. EIMs primarily affect the joints, skin, and eyes with less frequent involvement of the liver, kidney, and pancreas. This article reviews the prevalence of musculoskeletal, dermatological, ocular, and other manifestations in IBD and their coalition with underlying intestinal inflammation. EIMs occurring independently of intestinal activity are managed by targeted therapies, categorical regimens, and specific treatments. On the other hand, EIMs paralleling the bowel activity are carefully monitored while the IBD is brought under control. Since the etiology of the disease is responsible for the development of the EIMs, the research scrutinizes the identified pathogenic mechanisms that tend to involve genetic susceptibility, aberrant self-recognition, and autoantibodies directed against organ-specific antigens shared by intestinal and extra-intestinal organs. This article also provides an overview of the epidemiology, clinical features, diagnostic modalities, and management of the EIMs associated with IBD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients diagnosed with ulcerative colitis (UC) associated with primary sclerosis cholangitis (PSC) and sessile serrated adenoma (SSA) are rare. The present study aimed to identify the potential causative gene mutation in a patient with UC associated with PSC and SSA. METHODS DNA was extracted from the blood sample and tissue sample of SSA, followed by the whole exome sequencing (WES) analysis. Bioinformatics analysis was utilized to predict the deleteriousness of the identified variants. Multiple sequence alignment and conserved protein domain analyses were performed using online software. Sanger sequencing was used to validate the identified variants. Expression and diagnostic analysis of identified mutated genes was performed in the GSE119600 dataset (peripheral blood samples of PSC and UC) and GSE43841 dataset (tumor samples of SSA). RESULTS In the present study, a total of 842 single nucleotide variants (SNVs) in 728 genes were identified in the blood sample. Two variants, integrin beta 4 (ITGB4) (c.C2503G; p.P835A) and a mucin 3A (MUC3A) (c.C1019T; p.P340L), were further analyzed. MUC3A was associated with inflammatory bowel disease. Sanger sequence in blood revealed that the ITGB4 mutation was fully cosegregated with the result of WES in the patient. Additionally, a variant, tumor protein p53 gene (TP53) (c.86delA; p.N29Tfs ∗ 15) was identified in the tissue sample of SSA. Compared to that in normal controls, ITGB4 was upregulated in both UC and PSC, MUC3A was, respectively, upregulated and downregulated in PSC and UC, and TP53 was downregulated in SSA. ITGB4 and TP53 had a potential diagnostic value for UC, PSC and SSA. CONCLUSIONS The present study demonstrated that the ITGB4 (c.C2503G; p.P835A) and MUC3A (c.C1019T; p.P340L) mutations may be the potential causative variants in a patient with UC associated with PSC and SSA. TP53 (c.86delA; p.N29Tfs ∗ 15) mutation may be associated with SSA in this patient.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) are chronic conditions that may be accompanied by autoimmune liver disease (AILD), most commonly primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC). The objective of this study was to evaluate the behaviour of patients with IBD associated with AILD and compare a PSC group with a non-PSC group. METHODS Medical records of patients with IBD associated with PSC, autoimmune cholangitis, primary biliary cholangitis, small-duct PSC, autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) and overlapping syndromes were assessed. RESULTS Fifty-four patients were included: 48 (88.9%) had ulcerative colitis and six (11.1%) had Crohn's disease; 35 (64.8%) had PSC and 19 (35.2%) did not have PSC. There was no difference in outcomes (surgical treatment for IBD, liver transplantation or death) between the groups. Time since the diagnosis of IBD was associated with surgical treatment of IBD (p=0.041; OR: 1.139, 95% CI: 1.006-1.255). Time since the diagnosis of AILD (p=0.003; OR: 1.259, 95% CI: 1.1-1.396), as well as portal hypertension at diagnosis (p=0.014; OR: 18.22, 95% CI: 1.815-182.96), were associated with liver transplantation. In addition, previous diagnosis of AIH was associated with de novo IBD (p=0.012; OR: 7.1, 95% CI: 1.215-42.43). CONCLUSION Both groups had similar disease behaviour. A longer time since the diagnosis of IBD increased the risk for surgical treatment (13.9%/year). A 25.9%/year increase in liver transplantation was observed after the diagnosis of AILD, which was increased 18.22 times by the presence of portal hypertension. In addition, the diagnosis of AIH was associated with an increase in the number of diagnoses of de novo IBD (7.1).

Abstract
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease is a highly prevalent medical condition, characterized by intrahepatic fat accumulation which may eventually lead to hepatic inflammation, cell death and reactive fibrosis. Obesity and metabolic disturbances constitute significant contributors to liver steatosis pathogenesis, however, there is a growing awareness that fatty liver may emerge even in normal weight or metabolically healthy individuals. In recent years, advanced imaging techniques have revealed that liver steatosis is quite common in inflammatory bowel disease patients, suggesting that intestinal inflammation and disturbances of the liver-gut axis may also play a key role in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease pathophysiology. The current review focuses on the co-occurrence of the two disorders, integrating research findings on epidemiology, clinical characteristics and common pathophysiological processes. The study of liver steatosis in inflammatory bowel disease patients may provide useful insights on the complex links between dietary fat intake, metabolic dysregulation, gut physiology and intrahepatic cellular mechanisms underlying liver inflammation and damage.

Abstract
AIM To investigate whether immune mediated diseases (IMD) are more frequent in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).
METHODS In this population based registry study, a total of 47325 patients with IBD were alive and registered in the Danish National Patient Registry on December 16, 2013. Controls were randomly selected from the Danish Civil Registration System (CRS) and matched for sex, age, and municipality. We used ICD 10 codes to identify the diagnoses of the included patients. The IBD population was divided into three subgroups: Ulcerative colitis (UC), Crohn’s disease (CD) and Both the latter referring to those registered with both diagnoses. Subsequently, odds-ratios (OR) and 95%CI were obtained separately for each group and their respective controls. The use of Bonferoni post-test correction adjusted the significance level to P < 0.00125. P-values were estimated using Fisher’s exact test.
RESULTS There were significantly more women than men in the registry, and a greater percentage of comorbidity in the IBD groups (P < 0.05). Twenty different IMDs were all significantly more frequent in the IBD group. Sixteen were associated with UC versus twelve with CD. In both UC and CD ORs were significantly increased (P < 0.00125) for primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC), celiac disease, type 1 diabetes (T1D), sarcoidosis, asthma, iridocyclitis, psoriasis, pyoderma gangrenosum, rheumatoid arthritis, and ankylosing spondylitis. Restricted to UC (P < 0.00125) were autoimmune hepatitis, primary biliary cholangitis, Grave’s disease, polymyalgia rheumatica, temporal arteritis , and atrophic gastritis. Restricted to CD (P < 0.00125) were psoriatic arthritis and episcleritis. Restricted to women with UC (P < 0.00125) were atrophic gastritis, rheumatoid arthritis, temporal arteritis, and polymyalgia rheumatica. Restricted to women with CD were episcleritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and psoriatic arthritis. The only disease restricted to men (P < 0.00125) was sarcoidosis.
CONCLUSION Immune mediated diseases were significantly more frequent in patients with IBD. Our results strengthen the hypothesis that some IMDs and IBD may have overlapping pathogenic pathways.

The Changing Phenotype of Inflammatory Bowel Disease. Gastroenterol Res Pract 2016; 2016:1619053. [PMID: 28050166 PMCID: PMC5168455 DOI: 10.1155/2016/1619053] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/08/2016] [Revised: 11/01/2016] [Accepted: 11/08/2016] [Indexed: 02/06/2023] Open
Abstract
It is widely known that there have been improvements in patient care and an increased incidence of Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) worldwide in recent decades. However, less well known are the phenotypic changes that have occurred; these are discussed in this review. Namely, we discuss the emergence of obesity in patients with IBD, elderly onset disease, mortality rates, colorectal cancer risk, the burden of medications and comorbidities, and the improvement in surgical treatment with a decrease in surgical rates in recent decades.

Prevalence of Sclerosing Cholangitis Detected by Magnetic Resonance Cholangiography in Patients With Long-term Inflammatory Bowel Disease. Gastroenterology 2016; 151:660-669.e4. [PMID: 27342213 DOI: 10.1053/j.gastro.2016.06.021] [Citation(s) in RCA: 125] [Impact Index Per Article: 15.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/23/2015] [Revised: 06/07/2016] [Accepted: 06/13/2016] [Indexed: 02/07/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS The prevalence of primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) among patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is unclear. Patients with IBD might be screened for PSC using magnetic resonance cholangiography (MRC). We aimed to estimate the frequency and distribution of MRC-detected lesions that indicate PSC in patients with IBD 20 years after their initial diagnosis and to identify clinical characteristics associated with these findings. METHODS We performed a follow-up analysis of a population-based cohort of 756 patients in South-Eastern Norway diagnosed with IBD from January 1, 1990 through December 31, 1993. Of these subjects, 470 attended a follow-up evaluation 20 years later in which they were offered routine clinical blood testing and ileocolonoscopy; 322 were screened by MRC (222 with ulcerative colitis and 100 with Crohn's disease). Two radiologists independently evaluated results from the MRC examinations. RESULTS In the MRC examination, 24 patients (7.5%) were found to have PSC-like lesions; only 7 of these patients (2.2%) were known to have PSC. One patient was initially missed and 1 had small-duct PSC, so the final prevalence of PSC was 8.1%. Extensive colitis, a high prevalence of colectomy, and chronic and continuous symptoms of IBD occurred in significantly more patients with suspected PSC than without PSC (P = .029, P = .002, and P = .012, respectively). Among patients with subclinical features of PSC, the MRC progression score for PSC increased when they were re-examined after a median 3.2 years (P = .046). CONCLUSIONS Using MRC analysis of patients with long-term IBD, we found the prevalence of PSC to be around 3-fold higher than that detected based on symptoms. Sixty-five percent of patients had subclinical PSC associated with progressive IBD, with no biochemical abnormalities and mild disease, based on radiology findings. PSC appears to progress in patients with subclinical disease, but long-term outcomes are not known.

Clinical Features and Risk Factors of Autoimmune Liver Involvement in Pediatric Inflammatory Bowel Disease. J Pediatr Gastroenterol Nutr 2016; 63:259-64. [PMID: 26756875 DOI: 10.1097/mpg.0000000000001078] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.1] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Indexed: 12/13/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES Autoimmune liver disease is reported in up to 7.8% of children with inflammatory bowel disease. A distinct inflammatory bowel disease phenotype has been suggested in adults and in small pediatric cohorts. The aim of the study was to evaluate the features of inflammatory bowel disease associated with autoimmune liver diseases and to analyze the characteristics of the liver disease. METHODS Information on patients was obtained from the Italian Pediatric Inflammatory Bowel Disease Registry. Data of patients with and without autoimmune liver disease were compared. RESULTS Autoimmune liver disease was detected in 6.8% of the 677 patients enrolled and was significantly associated with the diagnosis of ulcerative colitis (83%), with pancolonic involvement (84%), and with perinuclear antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody positivity (41%) (all Ps < 0.05). Autoimmune liver disease was defined as sclerosing cholangitis in 61% of the patients and as an overlap syndrome in 33%. Concomitant intra- and extrahepatic biliary involvement was reported in 61% of cases, whereas exclusive extrahepatic lesions were reported in 21%. Hepatobiliary complications were observed in 9% of the patients during follow-up. CONCLUSIONS Autoimmune liver disease, especially sclerosing cholangitis, was significantly more common in patients with extensive ulcerative colitis. Although complications are relatively rare in the pediatric age, monitoring is recommended.
