| Abstract: |
Although the term inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) describes a wide range of inflammatory states, it generally refers to ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn's disease. This chapter is from a handbook that presents an up to date guide on selected topics in IBD, focusing on those clinically important areas that have undergone recent changes or discoveries. In this chapter, the authors discuss the clinical features, course, and laboratory findings in ulcerative colitis (UC). Written in an outline format for ease of access, the chapter covers an assessment of disease severity, classification systems, ulcerative proctitis, and ulcerative colitis. Each of the latter two sections covers symptoms, physical examination, laboratory features, and expected clinical course. The section on UC also considers extraintestinal manifestations. 4 tables. 19 references. |
