Abstract
Crohn's disease is a relapsing chronic inflammatory condition of the intestine with increasing prevalence around the world. Biologic therapies are currently widely used and have proved safe and effective in treating moderate to severe Crohn's disease. However, contemporary bibliography contains little information about the use of these drugs in patients with end-stage renal disease undergoing hemodialysis. Here we present a case of a 47-year-old female patient with treatment-refractory Crohn's disease on hemodialysis. In this patient, treatment with the anti-IL-12/23 receptor antibody ustekinumab was effective in inducing and maintaining remission while being safe in administering throughout hemodialysis.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
