Abstract
Chron’s disease is an inflammatory disorder that can involve any part of GI tract but most commonly involves the small intestine. Many of the patients with Cohn’s disease end up requiring surgery, and the 10-year risk of requiring surgery is estimated to be around 50%. The most common type of surgery in patients with Crohn’s disease is ileocecal resection. More than 40,000 ileostomies are formed annually in the United States. Up to 15% of patients who receive ileostomy experience a de novo or community-onset AKI within 90 days. Oral rehydration with iso-osmolar fluids is the mainstay of outpatient management. Both hypotonic fluids, and hypertonic fluids can cause a net flow of fluid into the bowel lumen increasing the ostomy output. We aimed to study the risk of AKI within 30 days in CD patients after an ileostomy procedure.
