Features: This book is a practical reference work in China that introduces inflammatory bowel disease in a richly illustrated format. The book is divided into 14 chapters, introducing not only anatomical and histological knowledge closely related to the clinical, endoscopic, and pathological changes of inflammatory bowel disease, as well as basic concepts such as its definition and classification, but also focuses on the clinical features, pathological changes, and endoscopic manifestations of idiopathic inflammatory bowel disease (ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease), as well as the differential diagnosis of these two diseases. Additionally, chapters are dedicated to various common colonic inflammatory diseases that are easily confused with and difficult to diagnose as ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease, including colitis associated with infection, intestinal motility disorders, and insufficient vascular perfusion, colitis caused by various interventional measures, as well as uncommon lymphocytic and collagenous colitis. The book also dedicates a chapter to the relationship between inflammatory bowel disease and colorectal malignancies. Finally, to provide readers with a systematic understanding of inflammatory bowel disease, an appendix introduces recommendations from the Chinese Society of Gastroenterology on the diagnosis and treatment of inflammatory bowel disease, as well as epidemiology, medical treatment plans, disease activity assessment indicators, and short bowel syndrome.
