Fecal Levels of Lactic, Succinic and Short-Chain Fatty Acids in Patients with Ulcerative Colitis and Crohn Disease: A Pilot Study
Intestinal dysbiosis plays a crucial role in the development of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), including Crohn’s disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC). The importance of bacterial metabolites, such as short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), succinic and lactic acids, as well as environmental factors...

description | Intestinal dysbiosis plays a crucial role in the development of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), including Crohn’s disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC). The importance of bacterial metabolites, such as short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), succinic and lactic acids, as well as environmental factors that affect their production in the course of IBD, remains unclear. The aim of this study was to evaluate a profile of organic acids in the stool of CD and UC patients with different disease activity. We assessed a correlation between used medications, patient’s diet, and SCFA levels. A total of 35 adult patients were included in the study. We did not observe significant differences in the levels of organic acids between the CD and UC groups, irrespective of disease activity, and a control group. However, propionic acid levels were higher in IBD patients who received trimebutine vs. those who did not (p = 0.031). Higher isobutyric acid levels were observed in patients treated with biological drugs compared with those without such treatment (p = 0.014). No significant correlations were found between organic acid levels and the frequency of dietary fiber consumption. Our results reveal a new link between medication use and organic acid levels in patients with IBD. |
