Abstract: | IBD results from the interaction of genetic and environmental factors (e.g., smoking). Clinical suspicion is the key to diagnosis, which then rests on colonoscopy, histopathological examination of multiple biopsy specimens, small bowel barium radiology and faecal examination. The primary goal of treatment is remission--histological in ulcerative colitis and symptomatic in Crohn's disease. Treating active disease and maintaining remission require different approaches. For active disease, short term corticosteroids are the mainstay of treatment, while immunosuppressive drugs are important in chronically active disease. For maintenance, mesalazine-delivering drugs and immunosuppressive agents are efficacious in both ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease; patients with Crohn's disease should not smoke. |
