Gastroenterology and Hepatology Inflammatory Bowel Disease
Gastroenterology and Hepatology Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) is a term used to describe a group of diseases that affect the digestive system, including Crohn's Disease and Ulcerative Colitis. IBD is a chronic inflammatory disorder of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, which is mainly characterized by intestinal inflammation and can lead to malnutrition, abdominal pain and a host of other symptoms. Gastroenterology and Hepatology physicians diagnose, monitor and treat IBD, which is a complex condition that requires a comprehensive approach for successful management. With the right management, individuals suffering from IBD can often live a full and active life.
