Inflammatory Bowel Disease (Paperback, 2nd Revised edition)

Two chronic relapsing and remitting inflammatory disorders of the gastrointestinal tract, ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease, comprise inflammatory bowel disease. While the cause remains unknown, the condition is increasing in prevalence and represents a considerable burden of sickness, both in terms of healthcare resources and within the community. Fast Facts - Inflammatory Bowel Disease is an authoritative guide to presentation, management and complication of the condition, and is a valuable resource for patients with IBD and their carers alike.
