Diagnosing and managing inflammatory bowel disease
25 Jul 2013
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) has a prevalence of around 400 per 100,000 in the UK. The two major types of IBD are ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease. Both are characterised by a relapsing and remitting course. Inflammatory markers in the blood are not always raised in ulcerative colitis. The diagnosis is confirmed by typical histological features on biopsy.
