Abstract:
Ulcerative colitis can present in various stages, usually in the young adult. History, symptoms, and laboratory and bowel examination can lead to the diagnosis and proposed treatment. The response of the patient to the disease and drug therapy can vary. Ultimately, surgery may be necessary to prevent colon cancer. The aim is to achieve remission and provide the patient with as normal a life as possible.
