[Pulmonary disorders in patients with chronic inflammatory bowel disease].

The article devoted to respiratory pathology (RP) in patients with UC and CD with clinical-radiological and functional (a function of external respiration--ERF) methods. The study included 220 patients with IBD (164--with UC and 56--with CD), aged 18-76 years (average age 40.6 years). ERF was studied by spirograph and recording flow-volume curve of forced expiration using pnevmotaograph "Eton-1" (Russia), 11 patients underwent HDCT at on multislice computer tomograph Toshiba Aquilion-16 (Japan). The study found that RP was most often detected by pulmonary function tests (44.1%), with a targeted detection of respiratory symptoms (32.9%), especially during HDCT. Much less marked physical (8.6%) and radiological (12.3%), signs of pulmonary disease, which indicates the low sensitivity of standard X-ray study of the CO. Airflow obstruction in the majority (78.3%) patients were represented mainly by obstruction of small bronchus, while in 51.6% of patients with impaired respiratory functions had no respiratory complaints, and 79.4% of patients had no radiographic signs of RP.
