Abstract:
This is a retrospective study conducted at the National Center for Gastrointestinal and Liver disease in Khartoum, Sudan on patients diagnosed with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) during the period between January 1990 and May 2001. The study was conducted to determine the pattern of presentation and management outcome of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) among Sudanese patients. All patients underwent a colonoscopy/ sigmoidoscopy with histopathological diagnosis, or a barium study. Seventy three patients were diagnosed as Ulcerative colitis (UC), and twelve patients as Crohn's disease (CD). The majority of our patients with UC improved with medical treatment. We concluded that IBD is not a rare disease in Sudan, UC being more common than CD. The disease tends to be more common in men in both UC and CD.

Diagnostic studies
A colonoscopy is the definitive screening test, distinguishing ulcerative colitis from other colon diseases with similar symptoms. During a colonoscopy test, inflamed mucosa with exudate ulcerations can be observed, and biopsies are taken to determine the histologic characteristics of the colonic...

Inflammatory Bowel Disease I: Ulcerative Colitis
Inflammatory bowel disease, or IBD, encompasses a group of disorders characterized by chronic inflammation or ulceration of the gastrointestinal tract.
Risk Factors
The exact cause of IBD remains unclear, although it is believed to be due to a mix of genetic, environmental, microbial, and immune factors. Genetic factors are significant in determining susceptibility to IBD, with family history being a critical risk factor. Individuals with a first-degree relative who has IBD are at...
Inflammatory Bowel Disease II: Crohn's Disease
Inflammatory bowel disease, commonly known as IBD, refers to a collection of disorders that lead to persistent inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract. The two types of IBD are ulcerative colitis, which impacts the colon, and Crohn's disease, which can involve any part of the gastrointestinal segment.
Crohn's disease
Crohn's disease is a chronic, systemic inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) that predominantly affects the gastrointestinal tract. It is marked by transmural...
