One of the two major categories of IBD or inflammatory bowel disease is ulcerative colitis, which predominantly affects the large bowel. It is a chronic condition of the colon or the large intestine that produces pus and mucus. The pattern of the disease is uninterruptedly extending proximally from the anal verge all the way into the large intestine. It may occasionally involve the terminal ileum due to the incompetence of the ileocecal valve. As a result of immunologic changes, there is an accumulation of T-cells in the lamina propria in the segment of the diseased colon. The ulcerated area has an overlay of granulated tissue, and mucus discharge is noted from the goblet cells.

For the mild onset of ulcerative colitis confined to the rectal area, Asacol or topical mesalazine is prescribed. Oral amino-salicylates may also be prescribed. Infliximab and Golimumab prevent the endogenous cytokines to bind the cell surface. Immunosuppressant agents to regulate the immune system and corticosteroids for suppressing inflammation are also prescribed.
We assess the severity of ulcerative colitis between mild, moderate and severe before opting for either pharmacological or surgical therapy.
