Abstract:
Inlfammatory bowel disease (IBD) is characterized by chronic, relapsing inlfammation of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. In recent years, the incidence is increasing in the pediatric population. Insufifcient recognition of extraintestinal manifestations (EIMs) of IBD clinically may delay diagnosis. Therefore, improving the recognition of EIMs of IBD has an important signiifcance in its early diagnosis and treatment. The pediatricians should be alerted that renal lesions of EIMs in IBD are mainly immunoglobulin A (IgA) nephropathy and interstitial nephritis.
