Abstract
Ulcerative colitis (UC) is one of the most serious and poor-studied problems of modern gastroenterology. This nosology is a diffuse inflammation of the intestinal mucosa, limited to the colon with a predominant lesion of the rectum and sigmoid colon. Due to the progressive nature of the disease, patients require lifelong drug therapy and monitoring. Extra-intestinal manifestations are often found in patients with UC and represent a complex problem that requires the close attention of specialists and the appointment of modern pathogenetically-based treatment, including genetically engineered biological drugs. This clinical observation reflects the importance of early diagnosis of UC with extra-intestinal manifestations – primary sclerosing cholangitis and arthropathy, as well as the effectiveness of treatment with ustekinumab.
