Inflammatory Bowel Diseases Return to the tutorial menu. The images below have file sizes ranging from 50 to 250k. Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) can involve either or both the small and large bowel. Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis are the best known forms of IBD, and both fall into the category of "idiopathic" inflammatory bowel disease because the etiology for them is unknown. Pathologic findings are generally not specific, although they may suggest a particular form of IBD. "Active" IBD is characterized by acute inflammation. "Chronic" IBD is characterized by architectural changes of crypt distortion and scarring. Crypt abscesses (active IBD consisting of neutrophils in crypt lumens) can occur in many forms of IBD, not just ulcerative colitis. Ulcerative Colitis Ulcerative colitis (UC) involves the colon as a diffuse mucosal disease with distal predominance. The rectum is virtually always involved, and additional portions of colon may be involved extending proximally from the rectum in a continuous pattern. The etiology for UC is unknown. UC is more common in persons of Caucasian race, in women, and in young persons (peak incidence at ages 20 - 25 years). Clinical findings can include diarrhea, but the amount of diarrheal stool is not great, and is often accompanied by tenesmus. Patients with prolonged UC are at increased risk for developing colon cancer. Colonic biopsy can be used to detect dysplasia, a neoplastic change in the mucosa which implies an increased probability of malignancy. Patients with UC are also at risk for development of liver diseases including sclerosing cholangitis and bile duct carcinoma.

KidsHealth Parents Medical Problems Digestive System The digestive system is a set of organs (including the stomach, large and small intestines, rectum, and others) that convert the foods we eat into nutrients and absorb these nutrients into the bloodstream to fuel our bodies. We seldom notice its workings unless something goes wrong, as in the case of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). It's estimated that up to 1 million Americans have inflammatory bowel disease. It occurs most frequently in people ages 15 to 30, but it can also affect younger children and older people. And there are significantly more reported cases in western Europe and North America than in other parts of the world. What Is Inflammatory Bowel Disease? Inflammatory bowel disease (which is not the same thing as irritable bowel syndrome, or IBS) refers to two chronic diseases that cause inflammation of the intestines: ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease . Although the diseases have some features in common, there are some important differences. Ulcerative colitis is an inflammatory disease of the large intestine, also called the colon. In ulcerative colitis, the inner lining - or

BONNER, M.D. Cleveland Clinic Florida, Ft. Lauderdale, Florida DANIELA A. BOTOMAN, M.D. North Broward Hospital District Family Practice Program of the University of South Florida, Coral Springs, Florida A patient information handout on living with inflammatory bowel disease , written by the authors of this article, is provided on page 71. I nflammatory bowel disease encompasses a number of chronic, relapsing inflammatory disorders involving the gastrointestinal tract. The prevalence of these disorders ranges from 20 to 200 per 100,000 U.S. population. It is estimated that more than 600,000 people in the United States have some form of inflammatory bowel disease. Classically, inflammatory bowel disease includes ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease. Ulcerative colitis typically presents with shallow, continuous inflammation extending from the rectum proximally to include, in many patients, the entire colon. Fistulas, fissures, abscesses and small-bowel involvement are absent. Patients with limited disease (e.g., proctitis) typically have mild but frequently recurrent symptoms, while patients with pancolitis more commonly have severe symptoms, often requiring hospitalization. Unlike ulcerative colitis, Crohn's disease can involve the entire intestinal tract, from the mouth to the anus, with discontinuous focal ulceration, fistula formation and perianal involvement. The terminal ileum is most commonly affected, usually with variable degrees of colonic involvement. Subsets of patients have perianal disease with fissures and fistula formation. Only 2 to 3 percent of patients with Crohn's disease have clinically significant involvement of the upper gastrointestinal tract.
