GI Diseases Associated with Rheumatological and Vasculitic Conditions

Description GI Diseases Associated with Rheumatological and Vasculitic Conditions GI Diseases Associated with Rheumatological and Vasculitic Conditions is a focused, clinically relevant reference that explores the gastrointestinal manifestations of rheumatologic and vasculitic disorders. This book is designed for rheumatologists, gastroenterologists, internists, nephrologists, and postgraduate trainees who manage patients with complex systemic inflammatory and autoimmune diseases. The book provides an in-depth overview of how systemic rheumatological and vasculitic conditions affect the gastrointestinal tract, often presenting diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. It covers a wide spectrum of disorders, including systemic lupus erythematosus, systemic vasculitides, spondyloarthropathies, rheumatoid arthritis, scleroderma, Sjögren’s syndrome, Behçet’s disease, and inflammatory myopathies, with special attention to their GI involvement. A key strength of this text is its emphasis on pathophysiology and immune-mediated mechanisms linking rheumatic disease and gastrointestinal pathology. It explains how vascular inflammation, immune complex deposition, ischemia, and chronic inflammation lead to GI symptoms such as abdominal pain, bleeding, malabsorption, dysmotility, and hepatobiliary involvement. The book also highlights diagnostic strategies, guiding clinicians through the interpretation of clinical features, laboratory markers, imaging, endoscopy, and histopathology in patients with suspected GI involvement. Practical sections discuss differential diagnosis, helping clinicians distinguish disease-related GI manifestations from drug-induced gastrointestinal complications, especially those related to NSAIDs, corticosteroids, and immunosuppressive therapies. Therapeutic chapters focus on integrated management approaches, including the use of immunosuppressants, biologic agents, and targeted therapies, while addressing safety considerations and multidisciplinary care. Case-based discussions and summary tables enhance clinical applicability and learning.
