ABSTRACT

La enfermedad inflamatoria intestinal (EII), cuyos fenotipos más frecuentes son la enfermedad de Crohn (EC) y la colitis ulcerosa (CU), tiene una etiología multifactorial, que resulta de la interacción de factores genéticos, ambientales y del microbioma. Su incidencia ha aumentado en las últimas décadas, así como también lo ha hecho la occidentalización de la dieta: alta en grasas, carbohidratos refinados, azúcar, carnes rojas y alimentos procesados. Una dieta occidental es considerada como factor de riesgo para el desarrollo de EII, ya que está asociada a disbiosis, alteración de la barrera intestinal y de la inmunidad del huésped. Existen diversas dietas de eliminación que podrían ejercer un rol en la inducción/mantención de la remisión. Sin embargo, la mayoría requiere estudios de mejor calidad científica para poder recomendarlas. A su vez, existen suplementos nutricionales que estarían asociados a la incidencia y curso de la enfermedad. El objetivo de esta revisión es mostrar el posible rol de la dieta en la incidencia de la EII, y las estrategias dieto-terapéuticas, incluyendo suplementos específicos y nutrición enteral, considerando periodos de crisis y remisión.


Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD), most frequent phenotypes Crohn's disease and Ulcerative colitis, have a multifactorial etiology, resulting from genetics, environmental triggers and microbiome alterations. Its incidence has been increasing as well as the western diet, high in fat, refined carbohydrates, sugar, red meat and processed foods. A western diet is considered a risk factor for the development of IBD, since it is associated with dysbiosis, alteration of the intestinal barrier and host immunity. There are several elimination diets that could play a role in induction/maintenance of remission. However, most of them require better quality scientific studies. Also, there are nutritional supplements associated with the incidence and evolution of the disease. The aim of this review is to show the possible role of the diet in the incidence, and diet-therapeutic strategies, including specific supplements and enteral nutrition, considering periods of active disease and remission

ABSTRACT

Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs), including ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn's disease (CD), are commonly associated with important changes in nutritional status (NS). Both malnutrition and obesity have a negative impact on the course of both diseases, with greater risks of postoperative complications, such as anastomotic dehiscences, reoperations, prolonged hospitalizations, and increased mortality. The diagnostic criteria for identifying individuals at nutritional risk, with clear indication for preoperative nutritional therapy, involves several factors. Oral nutrition should be the first choice of nutritional support. If the patient has difficulty in consuming food, the enteral route is the second option, through elementary (amino acids), semi-elementary (oligopeptides), or polymeric (whole proteins) formulas. When oral or enteral routes are not indicated (in the presence of intestinal obstruction or ischemia, fistula, or bleeding), total parenteral nutrition can meet the daily nutritional needs of the critically ill patient. Nutritional support can be performed exclusively or in an associated way, which will depend on the nutritional severity of the patient with IBD. Nutritional screening should be performed at all stages of the disease, always individually and with professionals with experience in IBD. The reduction of complications in the perioperative period is not only associated with adequate surgical technique, but also with adequate nutritional support and clinical preparation before surgery. Therefore, the dietitian with a focus in IBD has an important role in the multidisciplinary team, collaborating with all stages of treatment and with the optimization of the nutritional status of the surgical patient.

ABSTRACT

Introducción: la enfermedad de Alzheimer es la forma más común de demencia, la cual se asocia con el deterioro pro-gresivo de las funciones cognitivas; se caracteriza por la for-mación de ovillos neurofibrilares y placas seniles conformadas por la sustancia ß-amiloide. Desarrollo: el eje microbiota-intestino-cerebro permite la co-municación entre el tracto gastrointestinal y el cerebro. La micro-biota intestinal sufre modificaciones por el envejecimiento como el incremento de la permeabilidad intestinal y la translocación bacteriana. En presencia de disbiosis, los cambios en la motilidad y la secreción gastrointestinal alteran las células neuroendocrinas y del sistema inmune, y afectan la liberación de neurotransmiso-res. Así, las modificaciones de la microbiota pueden ocasionar la neuroinflamación que se observa en la enfermedad de Alzhei-mer. Los productos prebióticos y cepas de probióticos demostra-ron ser beneficiosos a nivel neurológico en dicha enfermedad, detectándose expresión de neurotransmisores y mejoría en las funciones cognitivas. Conclusiones: se ha documentado el uso de prebióticos y pro-bióticos en la enfermedad de Alzheimer, y se refirió que ocasio-nan reducción de la inflamación intestinal y disbiosis, así como mejora de las funciones cognitivas en estos pacientes. Sin em-bargo, en el tratamiento de la enfermedad de Alzheimer aún no se contempla el uso de los probióticos y tampoco se ha consi-derado como manera preventiva dado que las investigaciones son recientes.

ABSTRACT

RESUMEN Fundamento: La enfermedad inflamatoria intestinal comprende la colitis ulcerativa idiopática y la enfermedad de Crohn. En la patogenia intervienen factores genéticos y ambientales como la alteración de las bacterias luminales y el aumento de la permeabilidad intestinal, factores que alteran la inmunidad intestinal, causas estas de lesión gastrointestinal. Objetivo: Analizar la influencia de la dieta en la microbiota intestinal en la enfermedad inflamatoria intestinal, así como concientizar a los profesionales de la salud en la importancia de la terapia a partir de la dieta, como pilar esencial en el control de esta enfermedad digestiva crónica. Metodología: Se realizó una búsqueda en bases de datos como: Scielo, Pubmed/Medline, Ebsco, Clinical Key, Springer, Web of Science, Infomed, se incluyeron revistas, libros, repositorios de tesis, sitios web de especialidades. Desarrollo: En los pacientes con enfermedad inflamatoria intestinal existe una disbiosis que contribuye potencialmente a una respuesta inmune proinflamatoria. Conclusiones: El equilibrio entre el huésped y su microbiota intestinal es esencial para el desarrollo inmunológico óptimo; la modificación de la dieta y la flora bacteriana intestinal son dianas potenciales en el tratamiento y prevención de la misma.


ABSTRACT Background: Inflammatory bowel disease includes idiopathic ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease. In the pathogenesis are present genetic and environmental factors such as alteration of luminal bacteria and increased intestinal permeability, factors that alter the intestinal immunity, these causes of gastrointestinal injury. Objective: To analyze the influence of diet on intestinal microbiota in inflammatory bowel disease, as well as to increase awareness among health professionals about the importance of diet-based therapy as an essential pillar in the control of this chronic digestive disease. Methodology: A search was made in databases such as: Scielo, Pubmed / Medline, Ebsco, Clinical Key, Springer, Web of Science, Infomed, magazines, books, thesis repositories, and specialty websites. Development: In patients with inflammatory bowel disease there is a dysbiosis that potentially contributes to a proinflammatory immune response. Conclusions: The balance between the host and its intestinal microbiota is essential for the optimal immunological development; the modification of the diet and the intestinal bacterial flora are potential targets in the treatment and prevention of it.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: This article aims to discuss the role of nutrition therapy in Inflammatory Bowel Diseases according to its indications, contraindications, and the as main results obtained with prebiotics, probiotics, symbiotics and other nutritional interventions. Data source: We performed a literature review using the databases Pubmed, Scielo and Lilacs. Data synthesis: Inflammatory Bowel Diseases are chronic illnesses that affect primarily the gastrointestinal tract and are divided in two most common forms of presentation: Crohn's Disease and Ulcerative Colitis. The chronic inflammation can cause intestinal lesions, anorexia, nutrients malabsorption, oxidative stress and higher energy consumption, increasing the risk of malnutrition. Nutritional status is directly associated with the disease severity and malnutrition is a serious complication of inflammatory bowel diseases that worsens the patients' prognosis. Nutritional therapy is used to prevent or treat the malnutrition, to correct macro and micronutrients deficits and to reverse some of the metabolic and pathological consequences of these diseases. In the majority of patients, the nutrition therapy has an adjuvant role combined to medical or surgical treatments, but in some specific situations it can be the main treatment. CONCLUSIONS: Despite the benefits of nutritional therapy, more meta-analysis and double-blind controlled studies about these diseases are required to assure the good results obtained in some of the published trials.


OBJETIVO: O objetivo do artigo é discutir o papel da Terapia Nutricional nas Doenças Inflamatórias Intestinais de acordo com suas indicações e contraindicações, bem como os principais resultados com prebióticos, probióticos, simbióticos e outras intervenções nutricionais nessas doenças. Fonte dos dados: Foi realizada busca por artigos nas bases de dados: Pubmed, Scielo e Lilacs. Síntese dos dados: Doenças Inflamatórias Intestinais são doenças crônicas que acometem principalmente o trato gastrointestinal e se dividem em duas formas mais comuns de apresentação: Doença de Crohn e Retocolite Ulcerativa. A inflamação crônica pode causar lesões intestinais, anorexia, má absorção de nutrientes, estresse oxidativo e aumento do gasto energético, aumentando o risco de desnutrição. O estado nutricional está diretamente associado com a gravidade da doença e a desnutrição é uma complicação que piora o prognóstico do paciente. A terapia nutricional é utilizada para impedir ou corrigir a desnutrição, repor deficiências de macro e micronutrientes e reverter parte das consequências metabólicas patológicas dessas doenças. Na maior parte dos pacientes, a terapia nutricional atua como coadjuvante combinada ao tratamento clínico ou cirúrgico, mas em algumas situações específicas pode ser o principal tratamento. CONCLUSÃO: Apesar dos vários benefícios atingidos pelo uso da terapia nutricional, mais metanálises e estudos randomizados duplo cegos ainda são necessários para comprovar os efeitos de suplementos específicos, garantindo, dessa maneira, resultados positivos na sua aplicação

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: To perform a sistematiy review of the literature about the nutritional impact of inflammatory bowel diseases in children and adolescents. DATA SOURCES: A systematic review was performed using PubMed/MEDLINE, LILACS and SciELO databases, with inclusion of articles in Portuguese and in English with original data, that analyzed nutritional aspects of inflammatory bowel diseases in children and adolescents. The initial search used the terms "inflammatory bowel diseases" and "children" or "adolescents" and "nutritional evaluation" or "nutrition deficiency". The selection of studies was initially performed by reading the titles and abstracts. Review studies and those withouth data for pediatric patients were excluded. Subsequently, the full reading of the articles considered relevant was performed. RESULTS: 237 studies were identified, and 12 of them were selected according to the inclusion criteria. None of them was performed in South America. During the analysis of the studies, it was observed that nutritional characteristics of patients with inflammatory bowel disease may be altered; the main reports were related to malnutrition, growth stunting, delayed puberty and vitamin D deficiency. CONCLUSION: There are nutritional consequences of inflammatory bowel diseases in children and adolescents, mainly growth stunting, slower pubertal development, underweight and vitamin deficiencies. Nutritional impairments were more significant in patients with Crohn's disease; overweight and obesity were more common in patients with ulcerative rectocolitis. A detailed nutritional assessment should be performed periodically in children and adolescents with inflammatory bowel disease...

ABSTRACT

La malnutrición es una característica común de la enfermedad inflamatoria intestinal (EII) crónica, por lo que la intervención nutricional juega un papel fundamental en el tratamiento de estos pacientes. El presente trabajo tuvo como objetivo realizar una actualización sobre los fundamentos y los efectos de la terapia nutricional de acuerdo a la evidencia. Se debe realizar el cribado nutricional para la prevención o el tratamiento de la desnutrición relacionada con la enfermedad e incluir el control del peso corporal, la determinación de los parámetros antropométricos, de las proteínas de síntesis visceral, determinación de vitaminas y minerales y una densitometría. La terapia nutricional oral, enteral y parenteral puede ser necesaria durante las diferentes fases. Para el soporte nutricional especializado, utilizar la nutrición enteral (NE) de elección, y la nutrición parenteral en los pacientes con contraindicación absoluta de NE o que no la toleren. El paciente debe recibir las calorías y nutrientes de acuerdo a la evaluación del estado nutricional, evitando el uso de dietas restrictivas salvo en los casos necesarios. Se ha estudiado en la dietoterapia la intolerancia a los alimentos, los probióticos, prebióticos y simbióticos, antioxidantes, elementos bioactivos, el tipo de grasas y la inmunomodulación pero la evidencia disponible es limitada. Se concluye que la nutrición debe considerarse un componente integral en el manejo de los pacientes con EII, con la finalidad de evitar y o controlar la desnutrición relacionada con la enfermedad para disminuir su morbimortalidad y mejorar su calidad de vida; asimismo. Se recomienda continuar estudios que permitan demostrar el beneficio de la inmunomodulación nutricional.


Malnutrition is a common feature of the chronic inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), so nutritional intervention plays an important role in the treatment of these patients. This work was intended to perform an update on fundamentals and the effects of nutritional therapy according to the evidence. We should make the nutritional screening for the prevention or treatment of malnutrition related disease and include control of body weight, the determination of anthropometric parameters and visceral proteins synthesis, determination of vitamins and minerals and a densitometry. Oral, enteral and parenteral nutritional therapy may be needed during the different phases. For the nutritional specialized support, of choice uses the enteral nutrition (EN), and the parenteral nutrition (PN) in the patients with EN's absolute contraindication or that do not tolerate it. The patient should receive the calories and nutrients according to the assessment of the nutritional status, avoiding the use of restrictive diets except when it is necessary. Has been studied in the diet therapy intolerance to foods, probiotics, prebiotics and synbiotics, antioxidants, bioactive elements, the type of fat and immunomodulation but the available evidence is limited. It is concluded that nutrition should be considered an integral component in the management of patients with IBD, in order to avoid self control disease-related malnutrition to decrease morbidity and mortality and improve quality of life also. recommended further studies to demonstrate the benefit of nutritional immunomodulation.

ABSTRACT

RACIONAL: As doenças inflamatórias intestinais caracterizam-se por diversos sintomas que afetam o aparelho digestório e, consequentemente, podem interferir sobre o estado nutricional. OBJETIVO: Avaliar o estado nutricional de pacientes com doença inflamatória intestinal em diferentes estágios de atividade inflamatória. MÉTODOS: Foram avaliados 55 pacientes com doença inflamatória intestinal, por meio de dados antropométricos, com aferição de peso, altura, circunferência do braço e prega cutânea do tríceps e tiveram sua composição corporal determinada por impedância bioelétrica. Para determinação de atividade inflamatória da doença foram utilizados os níveis séricos de proteína C reativa e o índice de Harvey e Bradshaw. Para comparação de médias foi usado o teste t não pareado, e para as médias não paramétricas, o teste de Mann-Whitney, considerando nível de significância valor de p<0,05. RESULTADOS: Entre os pacientes avaliados, 28 apresentavam doença de Crohn e 27 retocolite ulcerativa inespecífica, com idade entre 19 e 63 anos e tempo de diagnóstico de 1 a 22 anos. Não houve diferença nas medidas antropométricas e na composição corporal dos pacientes cuja doença inflamatória estava em atividade ou em remissão. Os que usaram glicocorticóides nos seis meses anteriores à avaliação apresentaram percentual de gordura corporal de 23,4±8,2 por cento, enquanto para os que não usaram o percentual foi de 30,7±11,3 (p<0,0199). Os sintomas gastrintestinais mais comuns foram distensão abdominal (41 por cento), diarréia (18 por cento), náusea (13 por cento), obstipação (12 por cento), inapetência (11 por cento) e vômito (5 por cento). Todos os sintomas foram mais frequentes nos pacientes com maior índice de massa corporal e de gordura corporal. CONCLUSÃO: Houve maior número de pacientes com excesso de peso e de gordura corporal, sendo que esses pacientes foram mais sintomáticos e apresentaram maiores valores de proteína C reativa.


BACKGROUND: The inflammatory bowel diseases are characterized by multiple digestive tract symptoms and therefore may interfere with nutritional status. AIM: To assess the nutritional status of patients with inflammatory bowel disease in different stages of inflammatory activity. METHODS: Fifty five patients with inflammatory bowel disease were demographically evaluated with weight measurement, height, arm circumference and triceps skinfold and had their body composition determined by bioelectrical impedance. For determination of inflammatory activity of the disease were used serum C-reactive protein and the index of Harvey and Bradshaw. To compare means it was used the unpaired t test, and the average non-parametric, the Mann-Whitney test, level of significance p <0.05. RESULTS: Among the patients, 28 had Crohn's disease and 27 ulcerative colitis, aged between 19 and 63 years and time since diagnosis 1-22 years. There was no difference in anthropometric measurements and body composition of patients whose disease was inflammatory activity or in remission. Patients who used glucocorticoids in the six months preceding the assessment showed body fat percentage of 23.4 ± 8.2 percent whilst those who did not use the percentage was 30.7 ± 11.3 (p <0.0199). The most common gastrointestinal symptoms were abdominal distension (41 percent), diarrhea (18 percent), nausea (13 percent), constipation (12 percent), anorexia (11 percent) and vomiting (5 percent). All symptoms were more common in patients with higher body mass index and body fat. CONCLUSION: There were more patients with excess weight and body fat, and these patients were more symptomatic and had higher values of C-reactive protein.

ABSTRACT

A doença inflamatória intestinal (DII) é uma denominação genérica que engloba várias entidades patológicas, sendo as mais comuns: retocolite ulcerativa inespecífica (RCUI) e doença de Crohn (DC), que acometem o trato gastrointestinal e são comumente associadas à desnutrição protéico-energética (DPE). As alterações nutricionais dependem da extensão e da gravidade com que se manifestam as moléstias, agravando o prognóstico tanto do paciente em tratamento clínico, quanto daqueles submetidos a cirurgias, deteriorando ainda a competência imune. A terapia nutricional tem se mostrado como recurso terapêutico auxiliar extremamente útil, atuando diretamente sobre o estado nutricional, mantendo-o e/ou recuperando-o, com conseqüente benefício na evolução e tratamento das DII. As indicações e as características básicas das dietas são motivos de discussão. O suporte nutricional oral, enteral e parenteral tem se mostrado bastante eficaz na indução e na manutenção da remissão da DII, pelo fornecimento de nutrientescom funções fisiológicas específicas. Estes nutrientes atuam modulando a resposta imunoinflamatória e mantendo a integridade da mucosa intestinal, melhorando o estado clínico e, conseqüentemente, o estado nutricional destes pacientes. O conhecimento do papel benéfico da flora intestinal estimulou as investigações com probióticos, sugerindo estratégias futuras detratamento.


Intestinal inflammatory disease (IID) is a generic denomination for various pathologic entities.The most common are non-specific ulcerative rectocolitis and Crohn’s disease (CD), which affect the gastrointestinal tract and are commonly associated with protein-energetic malnutrition(PEM). The nutritional alterations depend on the extent and gravity of the symptoms, aggravate the prognosis of patients receiving clinical treatment as well as surgical patients and worse nimmune competence. Nutritional therapy has revealed to be an extremely useful therapeutic resource, which exerts a direct influence, maintaining or recovering the nutritional state, andconsequently benefits the evolution and treatment of IID. The indications and basic characteristics of diets are a reason for discussion. Oral, enteral and parenteral nutritional support has revealed to be quite efficient to induce and maintain the remission of IID, as it supplies nutrients with specific physiological functions. The effect of these nutrients modulates the immuno-inflammatory response and maintains the integrity of the intestinal mucosa, improving these patients’ clinical and,consequently, nutritional condition. Knowledge about the beneficial role of the intestinal flora stimulated research on probiotics which has resulted in future treatment strategy suggestions.
