Renal manifestations and complications are not rare in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and may present as nephrolithiasis, amyloidosis, tubulointerstitial nephritis, and glomerulonephritis. Symptoms of renal impairment are not always specific and since the underlying bowel disease is

โฆ Synopsis
Extraintestinal manifestations of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) are common. Clinically significant renal/ urologic complications occur in 10-1 5% of patients with IBD. In this article, we review the incidence, pathogenesis, diagnosiq, and management of the various renalhrologic complications. In general, renaUurologic complications in IBD may be directly related to the underlying intestinal disease process (acalculous hydronephrosis, fistula formation, abscess) related to metabolic consequences of the disease (urolithiasis) or to the medi-cation used in the treatment of IBD. Less clearly understood complications include amyloidosis and glomerular disease. Renalhrologic complications of IBD represent a potential source of significant morbidity and mortality. Clinicians caring for patients with IBD should therefore be familiar with the various manifestations of these complications, as well as appropriate preventative measures and treatment.

Almost 50% of patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) will undergo surgery for their disease at some stage of its clinical course. Complications seen following surgery may occur early or late in the postoperative period. Patient factors, including active inflammatory disease, malnutrition, an
Diseases involving the hepatopancreatobiliary (HPB) system are frequently encountered in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Hepatobiliary manifestations constitute some of the most common extraintestinal manifestations of IBD. They appear to occur with similar frequency in patients with
