Spondyloarthritis (SpA) patients with the presence of non-specific gastrointestinal symptoms, subclinical intestinal inflammation is defined by endoscopic and histological techniques Objectives: To detect early structural inflammatory changes by chromoendoscopy and magnification colonoscopy in colonic/ileum digestive mucosa and establish its association with clinical variables in patients with SpA and gastrointestinal symptoms Methods: In total, 180 patients with SpA (ASAS/criteria) were assessed by rheumatologists, of which (n=35) (19.4%) had an indication by a gastroenterologist to perform the chromoendoscopy, magnification colonoscopy and histological analysis. The association between clinical and colonoscopy variables were evaluated usin...
