Abstract

Ulcerative colitis (UC) represents a chronic inflammatory bowel disease associated with an increasing incidence worldwide. In Germany, the incidence is approximately 4:100,000; thus roughly 40,000 patients suffer from UC. The clinical picture can differ significantly, and a thorough knowledge of the treatment algorithms is of eminent importance since the prognosis and quality of life of the patients strongly depend on precise medical and surgical regimens.

Zusammenfassung

Die Colitis ulcerosa ist eine chronisch-entzündliche Darmerkrankung mit weltweit zunehmender Inzidenz. In Deutschland liegt die Inzidenz bei etwa 4:100.000; folglich leiden ungefähr 40.000 Patienten an der Erkrankung. Das klinische Bild der Colitis ulcerosa zeigt eine erhebliche Varianz. Eine gründliche Kenntnis der Behandlungsalgorithmen ist von großer Bedeutung, da Prognose und Lebensqualität der Patienten stark von präzisen medikamentösen und operativen Therapieregimen abhängig sind.
