Riskfactors fordiverticulitis

Departmentof Medicine

Fiber Helps!• British study of cohort of 700,000

women with no known diverticulardisease, 6- year follow-up.

• 17,000 admitted to hospital withdiverticular disease.

• Higher intake of dietary fiber isassociated with reduced risk ofdiverticular disease.

29Crowe et al, Gut 2014

• The Health Professionals Follow-up Study,cohort ofmen prospectively followed 1986-2004.

• 47,000 men, age 40-75 years, baseline were free ofdiverticulosis and returned a food-frequency questionnaire.

• Outcome was incident diverticulitis and diverticularbleeding.

• Case series demonstrate chronic inflammation inbiopsy specimens taken from within and around diverticula of patients without overt diverticulitis orcolitis.

– Abnormal pathology in random biopsies taken from 16 of 17 patients with diverticulosis, with most demonstrating alymphocytic infiltrate without overt colitis

– There was evidence of chronic inflammation in and arounddiverticula in three quarters of resected specimens from 930patients undergoing surgery for symptomatic uncomplicateddiverticular disease but not overt diverticulitis

Visceral hypersensitivity

• Study of 10 patients with asymptomatic diverticulosis (ADD),11SUDD patients, 9 controls.

• In the rectum, the SUDD group had increased perception scores compared with the control group (p = 0.010) and the ADD group (p = 0.030). In the sigmoid colon, in the pre- and postprandial periods, the SUDD group had increased perception scores compared with the control group (p = 0.018)

Colonic Motility

• 12 patients with SUDD underwent 24-hour colonic manometric recordings and compared to 20 healthy controls

• Patients with SUDD displayed increased duration of rhythmic, low frequency, contractile activity, particularly inthe segments bearing diverticular – a pattern described as“spastic colon”.

• Patients with diverticulosis have significantly reduceddensity of interstitial cells of Cajal – the so- called“pacemaker cells” of the intestine.

• Hypothesis - Shifts in intestinal microbiota lead tochronic inflammation. Fecal stasis may lead tochronic dysbiosis in turn promote formation ofabnormal metabolites.
