Stages of IBD estimated by ultrasonography during biological therapy

Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) encompass Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC) characterised by chronic intestinal inflammation. During the last two decades, the high resolution ultrasound has greatly improved the diagnostic potential of ultrasound in the assessment of IBD. The study's goal is to evaluate the location, activity and complications of IBD by abdominal ultrasonography complemented with the results of clinical findings during biological therapy. The IBD patients 12 CU and 10 CD (21–56 years old) were examined during biological therapy by abdominal ultrasonography. Laboratory parameters…
