A member asked:
Can microscopic colitis still show under microscope if patient is in remission?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It depends: On the etiology of colitis, ischemic colitis once healed remains in remission as long as blood supply is adequate. Inflammatory colitis is is usually chronic and prone to flare ups with microscopic residual disease even if patient clinically is in remission.
