Medical management of extraintestinal manifestations of ulcerative colitis

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapterpeer-review

Abstract

In this chapter, we focused on the medical management of extraintestinal manifestations (EIMs) primarily associated with ulcerative colitis (UC). There is considerable overlap with respect to particular EIMs associated with UC or Crohn’s disease (CD), and the current evidence for management is frequently extrapolated from noninflammatory bowel disease (IBD) cases. Notable cases are highlighted to provide the evidence for practical management. Diagnostic and epidemiologic data are discussed where applicable to enhance management algorithms or treatment strategies, but a comprehensive review of all EIMs in IBD is beyond the scope of this review.
