    Study Notes

    Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD)

    • Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic inflammatory condition characterized by ongoing inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract.

    Characteristics of Crohn's Disease

    • A characteristic of Crohn's disease is the formation of granulomas, which are clusters of immune cells that form in response to an infection or inflammation.
    • Crohn's disease can affect any part of the gastrointestinal tract, from the mouth to the anus.

    Causes of Inflammatory Bowel Disease

    • A potential cause of inflammatory bowel disease is an abnormal response of the immune system to normal gut bacteria, leading to chronic inflammation.

    Clinical Manifestations of Inflammatory Bowel Disease

    • Clinical manifestations of inflammatory bowel disease include diarrhea, abdominal pain, weight loss, and fatigue.

    Pathophysiology of Inflammatory Bowel Disease

    • The pathophysiology of inflammatory bowel disease involves an altered gut epithelial barrier, dysbiosis of the gut microbiome, and an abnormal immune response.

    Characteristics of Ulcerative Colitis

    • A characteristic of ulcerative colitis is continuous mucosal inflammation and ulceration, starting from the rectum and progressing upwards.
