Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) are chronic, remitting and relapsing inflammatory conditions of the gastrointestinal tract. It includes Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis. While Crohn’s disease is inflammation that affects any part of the gastrointestinal tract from the mouth to the anus, ulcerative colitis affects only the colon in a continuous manner from the rectum up. This educational webinar addresses current knowledge on IBD, including what it is, how it is diagnosed and who it affects. The webinar also provides an overview of the currently available therapeutic options and highlights current research of immunosuppressive treatment of IBD.
