IBD: ULCERATIVE COLITIS FALLS INTO THE REALM OF INFLAMMATORY BOWEL DISEASE.. U.C GENERALLY HAS INFLAMMATION WHICH IS RESTRICTED TO THE MUCOSA. COLONSOCOPIES ARE IMPORTANT TO RULE OUT PRECANCEROUS LESIONS SUCH AS ADENOMATOUS POLYPS WHICH CAN PROGRESS TO COLON CANCER. INFLAMMATION IS PART OF THE SPECTRUM OF U.C.AND MONITORING ITS SEVERITY CAN ALSO BE A CLUE TO YOUR THERAPEUTIC RESPONSE TO MEDS.

Ulcerative colitis: Can explain the findings. What is the biopsy report of the Transverse colon? Are you getting treatment for the Ulcerative Colitis. Better to ask the Endoscopist the meaning of the findings
