What is Ulcerative Colitis?

Ulcerative Colitis is an inflammatory bowel disease which causes


inflammation and ulceration of inner lining of the colon and
rectum. The inflammation usually begins in the rectum and
sigmoid colon and spread upward to the entire colon. Ulcerative
colitis rarely affects the small intestine. It occurs at the rate of
approximately five cases per 100,000 people. The disease pattern
is one of the remission and exacerbation. It can occur at any age
but its onset is most common among people between ages of 15
40. Ulcerative colitis affects male and females equally and
appears to run in some families which means Ulcerative Colitis
can be genetic.
Cause of Ulcerative Colitis
The exact cause of Ulcerative Colitis is not known. Factors that have all been
suggested are:

1 Autoimmune factors
2 Food allergies
3 Collagen disorders
4 Genetic factors
5 Infection and Psychogenesis

One or some combination of these factors thought to trigger the inflammatory


process. The theory of the involvement of the immune mechanism has been
widely accepted because of concept that therapeutic agents like Corticosteroids
and Azothiaprine exert their effect via the immuno suppressive mechanism.
How Ulcerative Colitis affects the
intestines?

In Ulcerative Colitis, inflammation is triggered by some


unknown elements. Hyperemia and swelling occur as part of
the vascular response.
The swollen, engorged bowel is fragile and is therefore
inclined to ulcerate, thus creating a break in the mucosal
barrier.
Digestive enzymes and intestinal bacteria act upon this
exposed tissue, causing further irritation, inflammation,
ulceration and bleeding.
What are the Symptoms of
Ulcerative Colitis?

Symptoms of Ulcerative Colitis are:


Frequent loose stools with passage of blood and mucous
Patient may complain of abdominal pain
Fatigue
Loss of weight
Loss of body fluids and nutrients
Some patients also have skin lesions
Joint pain
Inflammation of eyes and
Liver disorders
How to diagnose Ulcerative Colitis?
Ulcerative Colitis diagnosis is done after carefully taking the
history and physical examination of the patients, then the
patients are subjected to sigmoidoscopy and colonoscopy
examination.

The rectum and colon are seen through a flexible optical /


camera tube which is inserted through anus. During this
examination a sample of tissue from the lining of the colon is
taken to observe under a microscope. This is called a
histopathology examination. A barium enema is helpful in
determining the nature and the extent of the disease in
patients.
