Re: colitis and HRTFrom: Henry Gregor (henrygregor@yahoo.com)Mon Jul 10 10:47:16 2006
Listers, In the last year I have had two patients present stating that there gastroenterologists advised them to d/c their estrogen therapy out of concern for its possible cause of ischemic colitis. I'm not the best PubMed searcher, but the only data I came up with noted a higher incidence of estrogen use in females bleeding from ischemic colitis vs from diverticulitis. Association, but without p values or confidence limits given (couldn't be done in any event; case reports were small in number.) ... so I would say correlation, without causation. The patients feels the needs the estrogen for quality of life, but are concerned re inciting bleeding. What are your thoughts? Hank

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education.
