Ulcerative colitis is an autoimmune, inflammatory, and chronic disease of the large intestine that, along with Crohn's disease, is part of the group of conditions known as Inflammatory Bowel Diseases.
Ulcerative colitis affects different parts of the large intestine, especially the colon, and presents different characteristics depending on the area affected by the inflammation, although the most common is the immune system's attack against the colon's mucosa, which leads to chronic intestinal inflammation (colitis) that damages (ulcerates) the intestine. This disease presents with symptomatic flare-ups and periods of remission but does not disappear unless adequate treatment is administered.
Autoimmune diseases are characterized by having a strong genetic component among their causes. In the case of ulcerative colitis, up to 200 genes have been identified that may be related to the disease.
The symptoms of ulcerative colitis can vary depending on the severity and location of the inflammation, and they may also be intermittent. Doctors often classify ulcerative colitis according to its location.
Biological medicine treatments are always based on regulating the immune system, deactivating the causes that triggered the autoimmune process, and if necessary, treating the symptoms with anti-inflammatory enzymes. If necessary, a vaccine of regulatory T lymphocytes would be injected.
