Printer-friendly version Email this article Inflammatory bowel disease is the name of a group of disorders that cause the intestines to become inflamed (red and swollen). The inflammation lasts a long time and usually comes back over and over again. More than 600,000 Americans have some kind of inflammatory bowel disease every year. If you have inflammatory bowel disease, you may have abdominal cramps and pain, diarrhea, weight loss and bleeding from your intestines. Two kinds of inflammatory bowel disease are Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. Crohn's disease usually causes ulcers (open sores) along the length of the small and large intestines. Crohn's disease either spares the rectum, or causes inflammation or infection with drainage around the rectum. Ulcerative colitis usually causes ulcers in the lower part of the large intestine, often starting at the rectum. Return to top What causes inflammatory bowel disease?

http://www.patient.co.uk/showdoc/23068968/

Extractions: Ulcerative colitis is a disease where inflammation develops in the large intestine. The most common symptom when the disease flares-up is bloody diarrhoea. You can usually prevent symptoms from flaring up by taking medication each day. When a flare-up does occur, treatment can usually ease symptoms. Surgery to remove the large intestine is needed in some cases. What is ulcerative colitis (UC)? Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a disease of the large intestine (the colon and rectum). Understanding the gut The gut (gastrointestinal tract) is the long tube that starts at the mouth and ends at the anus. Food passes down the oesophagus (gullet), into the stomach, then into the small intestine. The small intestine has three sections - the duodenum, jejunum and ileum. The small intestine is where food is digested and absorbed into the bloodstream. The structure of the gut then changes to become the large intestine (colon and rectum). The colon absorbs water, and contains food that has not been digested, such as fibre. This is passed into the last part of the large intestine, the rectum, where it is stored as faeces. Faeces (motions or stools) are then passed out into the toilet.

Extractions: Ulcerative Colitis Ulcerative colitis is a disease that causes inflammation (painful swelling) and sores (ulcers) in the top layers of the lining of the large intestine. The inflammation usually occurs in the rectum and lower part of the colon (large intestine), although it may affect the entire organ. Ulcerative colitis may also be called colitis, ileitis or proctitis. This disease is often difficult to diagnose because symptoms are very similar to inflammatory bowel disease and Crohn's disease. Ulcerative Colitis Symptoms About half of all patients have mild symptoms, including: Other medical problems that crop up as a result of ulcerative colitis include arthritis, eye inflammation, liver disease, osteoporosis (loss of bone mass), skin rashes, anemia and kidney stones. These conditions are usually mild and go away when the colitis is treated. Causes and Risk Factors Affecting men and women equally, ulcerative colitis most often occurs in people 15 to 40 years of age. As with other

Extractions: at Mayo Clinic (Synonyms: colitis, proctitis) Each year more than 2,000 patients seek treatment at Mayo Clinic for their ulcerative colitis. Patients are treated by a team of specialists gastroenterologists, colorectal surgeons and pathologists and have access to the latest therapies and leading experts and researchers on inflammatory bowel disease. This means an optimal treatment of flare-ups for better quality of life and longer remissions. In many cases, patients are diagnosed and treatment begins in three to four days. Surgery is necessary in some cases and can completely cure the condition. Mayo surgeons are at the forefront of minimally invasive surgery. Mayo maintains a database of information on more than 2,300 patients to help assess the effectiveness of treatments. Mayo offers the latest screening and diagnostic services for ulcerative colitis. Diagnostic tools include laboratory and radiology tests and endoscopic procedures. Physicians work together to rule out other diseases such as Crohn's disease, diverticulitis and colorectal cancer. A correct diagnosis is essential for effective treatment.

A number of infections and other conditions can cause the rectum to become irritated and inflamed, but few of them cause lasting symptoms. Ulcerative colitis, however, is a lifelong condition that begins with rectal inflammation and can worsen to involve much or all of the large intestine. Ulcerative colitis most often begins to cause symptoms between the ages of 15 and 40.

Extractions: This gross appearance is characteristic for ulcerative colitis. The most intense inflammation begins at the lower right in the sigmoid colon and extends upward and around to the ascending colon. At the lower left is the ileocecal valve with a portion of terminal ileum that is not involved. Inflammation with ulcerative colitis tends to be continuous along the mucosal surface and tends to begin in the rectum. The mucosa becomes eroded, as in this photograph, which shows only remaining islands of mucosa called "pseudopolyps".

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 (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.

You should speak to your physician or make an appointment to be seen if you have questions or concerns about this information or your medical condition. Index Spanish version Illustration Ulcerative colitis is an inflammation in the lining of the large intestine (colon) and rectum. The cause of ulcerative colitis is not known. Sometimes the disease worsens with stress, but stress is not the cause. The symptoms usually come and go. Flare-ups of symptoms alternate with times when you have no symptoms (remissions). Symptoms include: Your health care provider will ask about your symptoms and examine you. You may have blood tests to check for anemia and inflammation.

http://www.chclibrary.org/micromed/00069510.html

Extractions: The primary problem in IBD is inflammation, as the name suggests. Inflammation is a process that often occurs in order to fight off foreign invaders in the body, including viruses, bacteria, and fungi. In response to such organisms, the body's immune system begins to produce a variety of cells and chemicals intended to stop the invasion. These immune cells and chemicals, however, also have direct effects on the body's tissues, resulting in heat, redness, swelling, and loss of function. No one knows what starts the cycle of inflammation in IBD, but the result is a swollen, boggy intestine. In ulcerative colitis, the inflammation affects the lining of the rectum and large intestine. It is thought that the inflammation begins in the last segment of large intestine, which empties into the rectum (sigmoid colon). This inflammation may spread through the entire large intestine, but only rarely affects the very last section of the small intestine (ileum). The rest of the small intestine remains normal. Ulcerative colitis differs from Crohn's disease , which is a form of IBD that affects both the small and large intestines. The inflammation of ulcerative colitis occurs only in the lining of the intestine (unlike Crohn's disease which affects all of the layers of the intestinal wall). As the inflammation continues, the tissue of the intestine begins to slough off, leaving pits (ulcerations) which often become infected.
