NSAID enteropathy is inflammation of the small intestine due to a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID).

General

  • Clinical diagnosis.
  • NSAID use - such as in rheumatoid arthritis or osteoarthritis.[1]
  • The pathobiology of NSAID enteropathy in the distal small bowel (ileum) is thought to be different than NSAID induced injury in the stomach and duodenum.
    • Enterohepatic recirculation (absorbed NSAID excreted via bile) is thought to play a role.[2]

Microscopic

See Ileitis.
