What is IBD?
What types of IBD are there?
Crohn’s Disease
Ulcerative Colitis
Other causes of intestinal inflammation
- Infections
- Medications (NSAIDs, Antibiotics)
- Ischemia
- Radiation
Proposed etiologies of IBD
- Genetic
- Infection (dysbiosis)
- immune dysfunction
- Environmental factors
- Intestinal barrier defect
Pathogenesis of IBD
IBD pathways
Genetic factors of IBD
- Genetic mutation in NOD-2 gene in 10-15% of patients with Crohn’s disease most common in Jews

Role of microbes
Epidemiology of IBD
Risk factors for IBD
A broad overview of how Ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease
Ulcerative colitis location of inflammation
Inflammation in the colonic mucosa where only the colon is involved
inflammation affects the rectum and extends proximally to affect a variable extent of colon
Ulcerative colitis duration of inflammation
Continuous inflammation
Forms of IBD that are associated with extraintestinal complications
Both
- Crohn’s Disease
- Ulcerative colitis
Way to remember ulcerative colitis
ULCCCERS
- Ulcers
- Large intestine
- Continuous/Colon cancer/ Crypt abscesses
- extends proximally, red diarrhea, sclerosing cholangitis
Crohns disease location
- chronic transmural inflammation
- may involve any part of the GI tract from oral to anus
- Typically affects the ileum and colon
Most common Crohn’s disease location
Typically affects the ileum and colon
Describe the distribution of Crohn’s Disease
- distribution tends to be focal, asymmetric or segmental (skipped lesions)
Crohn’s disease complications
frequently complicated by fistulas and perianal disease
