Ulcerative Colitis (UC) • Concept • Etiology • Pathology • Clinical presentation • Diagnosis and differential diagnosis • Complications • Treatment
Diagnosis • Essentials of Diagnosis • Bloody diarrhea • Lower abdominal pain and fecal urgency • Anemia,low serum albumin • Negative stool cultures • Colonoscopy is key to diagnosis • Imaging is helpful sometimes
Laboratory finding • Negative stool cultures • Anemia, ESR,CRP • low serum albumin • p-ANCA: 70% positive
Negative stool cultures • Very important
Imaging • Plain abdominal • Barium enemas
