Ulcerative Colitis: Diagnosis
Description: The two most common forms of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) are ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease. Unlike Crohn's disease, which can occur anywhere in the digestive tract, ulcerative colitis usually only affects the innermost lining of the colorectal tract. This course examines the methods employed in diagnosing ulcerative colitis.
