Do you know what is IBD (Inflammatory Bowel Disease) ?

Inflammatory Bowel Diseases (IBD) is a heterogeneous group of diseases characterized by both intestinal and extraintestinal symptoms. The main conditions include Crohn’s disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC). In Crohn’s disease, inflammatory changes are patchy and can occur anywhere along the gastrointestinal tract, whereas in UC, the inflammation typically involves the entire colon.
Symptoms can be related to the gastrointestinal tract but may also be extraintestinal, such as eye changes, dermatological conditions, or joint involvement (axial or peripheral).
Approximately 50% of patients experience at least one extraintestinal symptom, with anemia being the most common and serious complication. In 20–50% of patients with IBD, low bone mineral density or osteoporosis is observed.
