Overview

Gastrointestinal and renal diseases may occur simultaneously. Urinary complications have been reported in up to 25% of patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), and include ureteral obstruction, enterovesical fistulas, lower and upper urinary tract infection and kidney stones as the most common manifestations. Furthermore, immunology-based kidney diseases are more frequently found in these patients. Membranous glomerulopathy may be associated with bowel tumours. Conversely, chronic renal failure mainly in long-term dialysed patients leads to chronic damage of the upper and lower gastrointestinal tract along with bleeding, perforation, pancreatic irritation and diarrhoea. Inadequate management of renal failure leads to vomiting and diarrhoea. Water and mineral disturbances, frequently accompanied by hypokalaemia, due to infectious and non-infectious bowel disease can be linked to acute kidney injury or failure, and are usually reversible after recovery of water and minerals to normal levels. A higher prevalence of bowel tumours, mainly lymphomas, is found in patients who undergo kidney transplantation. Use of biologics stabilises patients with IBD who have undergone transplant and are on long-term immunosuppressive management.
