MICRONUTRIENT DEFICIENCY IN PATIENTS WITH ULCERATIVE COLITIS
Keywords:
ulcerative colitis, micronutrients, malnutritionAbstract
Malnutrition is a common problem in patients with inflammatory bowel disease and is reported in 18-62% of patients with ulcerative colitis (UC). This study aims to assess the micronutrient status in UC patients and its relationship to the severity of the disease. In the period from 2022 to 2023, a prospective situational control study was conducted in 46 patients visiting the Department of Gastroenterology and purulent surgery. Patients were divided into light, moderate and severe groups based on data in the form of colon and the results of histopathological examination. Iron, magnesium, zinc, selenium and copper were examined in the blood serum. The 46 patients (17 men, 29 women) included in the study had an average age of 32 years and were divided into 2 groups (23 with YaK and 23 healthy individuals). Patients in the UC group were observed to have significantly lower levels of serum magnesium, zinc and selenium (p< 0.001, 0.018 and < 0.001). However, iron and copper levels did not differ significantly in group 2 patients. In patients with UC, it should be assessed that overcoming micronutrient deficiency can help achieve remission.
