Crohn's disease is a nonspecific inflammatory disease that affects the small intestine, large intestine, and can even affect any part of the digestive tract from the mouth to the colon and the anus. The disease is familial, usually in children.

Irritable bowel syndrome, or inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a functional gastrointestinal disorder characterized by abdominal pain and changes in bowel habits without any visible damage to the digestive system. Anyone living with inflammatory bowel disease understands the impact of stress on symptoms is not a good thing.

The colon is the large intestine (colon) and the rectum is the last part of the intestine where stool is stored. Ulcerative colitis is a chronic inflammation of the colon and rectum. Small sores can develop on the lining of the colon, bleed, and form pus. In this article, we will learn more about the treatment-resistant or drug-dependent cases of ulcerative colitis.

Crohn's disease is a chronic inflammatory bowel condition that causes abdominal pain, severe diarrhea, fatigue, weight loss and malnutrition.

Patients with long-standing inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) have a higher risk of developing colorectal cancer than the general population. In particular, the detection of sessile polyps is important in the treatment of patients with IBD.

Gastrointestinal complications in kidney transplant recipients may be a consequence of infections typical of transplant recipients, such as cytomegalovirus (CMV) colitis after kidney transplantation, and immunosuppressant-mediated damage to the gastrointestinal mucosa. Immunosuppressive therapy, which could theoretically counteract this inflammatory process, may in turn allow dysregulation of the intestinal immune system, ultimately leading to the development of posttransplant IBD.
