Which acronym represents the extraintestinal manifestations of inflammatory bowel disease?

A PIE SACK
BITE SACK
A PIE HEART
A PIE CHART

The correct answer is: A PIE SACK

The acronym that represents the extraintestinal manifestations of inflammatory bowel disease is A PIE SACK. This mnemonic helps to remember the various conditions associated with inflammatory bowel disease, particularly Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. Each letter in "A PIE SACK" corresponds to a different manifestation: - A stands for arthritis - P for primary sclerosing cholangitis - I for iritis or uveitis - E for erythrema nodosum - S for skin manifestations like pyoderma gangrenosum - A for anemia - C for clubbing - K for kidney stone formation This acronym encapsulates the variety of extraintestinal symptoms that patients with inflammatory bowel disease may experience, highlighting the systemic nature of the disease beyond just gastrointestinal issues. This can take the form of rheumatologic, dermatologic, ophthalmologic, and hepatic conditions, among others. Understanding this acronym is essential for healthcare providers to recognize and manage the comprehensive impacts of inflammatory bowel disease on patients' overall health.
