In this episode of GI101, host Dr. Christina G. Gonzales, DMSc, MPAS, PA-C, reviews Ulcerative Colitis (UC), a chronic inflammatory bowel disease characterized by continuous inflammation of the colonic mucosa beginning at the rectum. You’ll learn to recognize hallmark features such as bloody diarrhea, abdominal cramping, urgency, and tenesmus, while distinguishing UC from Crohn disease through its characteristic distribution and depth of inflammation. We’ll also cover key diagnostic findings, extraintestinal manifestations, complications such as toxic megacolon and increased colorectal cancer risk, and treatment strategies for inducing and maintaining remission. Perfect for PANCE prep and strengthening your understanding of inflammatory bowel disease.
