Background

Currently the incidence of patients with Metabolic Syndrome (MS) tends to increase among patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). The purpose of the study is to investigate the course of IBD depending on the presence of MS.

Methods

This cross-sectional analysis was performed on the database of patients with IBD to estimate the frequency of MS presence and study the clinical course (extension of pathologic process, severity and phenotype) of Crohn’s disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC).

Results

347 patients with IBD were included in the investigation: 259 patients with UC and 88 patients with CD. MS was revealed with the same frequency among patients with UC (26 patients, 10.04%) and CD (9 patients, 10.23%). Proctitis (48 patients, 20.6%) and left-sided colitis (121 patients, 51.93%) are usually found among patients with UC without MS while total colitis is significantly more frequent among patients with underlying MS (12, 46.15%, p < 0,05). It was found that patients without MS more often suffered from mild UC (116 patients, 49.79%, p < 0,01) while among patients with MS severe UC occurred more frequently (6 patients, 23.08%, p < 0.05). Among patients with CD and MS, there was no significant correlation between underlying MS and localisation, severity and course of CD.

Conclusion

Patients with UC and MS suffer from a more severe course of UC (as to both the extension of pathologic process and severity) in comparison with the patients with UC without MS. Due to the small quantity of patient with CD and MS insufficient evidence for the influence of MS on the course of CD has been obtained.
