Ibd-crohn's and uc-how early are symptoms diagnosed?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Several steps.: Disease is diagnosed by compatible history ( abdominal pain, diarrhea, mucous, blood in stools, presence of extraintestinal sx) followed by exam to exclude other potential causes then endoscopy to evaluate the lining of the gut and obtain biopsy.
