Abstract:
This article reports a case of a patient with Crohn's disease who had 1 to 2 loose stools per day,occasionally with a small amount of bloody stool.Despite treatment with multiple drugs in the past,the disease was still poorly controlled.The patient was switched to upadacitinib extended-release tablets 45 mg once daily for oral administration.The patient's hemoglobin level decreased continuously,with the lowest value of 68 g·L-1.After evaluation,it was determined that the decrease in hemoglobin was very likely related to upadacitinib extended-release tablets.The upadacitinib was discontinued,and vedolizumab was used for continued treatment.Symptomatic treatment was also given,and the patient's hemoglobin level gradually recovered.This article analyzes the clinical characteristics of upadacitinib-induced hemoglobin reduction in this case and the treatment plan optimization process,to provide a reference for safe clinical medication.
