If Gastrointestinal Disorder associates with Olmesartan can Mimic Autoimmune Enteropathy?
Olmesartan is an angiotensin receptor antagonist used to treat arterial hypertension. The treatment of Anti-hypertensive with the angiotensin II receptor antagonist olmesartan is a rare purpose of extreme Sprue-like enteropathy. To verify the speculation that olmesartan interferes with intestine immune homeostasis, clinical , histopathological and immune capabilities had been as compared in olmesartan-induced-enteropathy (OIE) and in autoimmune enteropathy (AIE). medical documents of seven patients with OIE and 4 patients with AIE enrolled at some point of the identical duration have been generally reviewed. Intestinal biopsies had been gathered for the significant histopathological overview, T cell Receptor clonality and flow cytometric evaluation of isolated intestinal lymphocytes. Selected seven olmesartan-treated patients who developed villous atrophy refractory against a gluten-free diet , among those 3 had extra-intestinal autoimmune illnesses, two had antibodies reactin...
