E.1.1 | Medical condition(s) being investigated |
Ulcerative colitis (US) is a chronic relapsing inflammatory bowel disease of the large intestine characterized by bloody diarrhoea, abdominal cramps and fatigue. UC is characterized by inflammation and ulceration of mainly the mucosal and occasionally submucosal intestinal layers. |
