Inflammatory Bowel Disease

This book uses new thinking on precision medicine and the interplay of genetic factors, the microbiome, and external triggers to build on the core concepts of inflammatory bowel disease. It outlines the latest findings in targeting therapies to the individual patient with Crohn’s and colitis, management of chronic infections in the setting of immunomodulators and biologics, non-surgical therapy of dysplasia in colitis patients, and redefining and structuring the problematic pouch. In addition, this book features useful chapters dedicated to the economic aspects of IBD in an increasingly constrained healthcare system, as well as the patient experience and the role of subspecialist telemedicine care.
