Difficulties in research and treatment of ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease

Aim. To demonstrate the stages of development of the clinical picture, methods of diagnosis and treatment of Crohn’s disease during pregnancy, hepatocellular cancer and ulcerative colitis. The study uses clinical trial data and biomarkers, and explores new imaging techniques to develop more accurate approaches to diagnosis. Methods. A detailed analysis of several representative patients representing different aspects of the disease. Results. The first clinical case is a patient diagnosed with Crohn’s disease. The study provides data on primary symptoms such as abdominal pain, diarrhea, and weight loss. The course of the disease, the results of laboratory and instrumental studies are analyzed, and the effectiveness of the applied treatment methods is also highlighted. The second case is dedicated to a patient diagnosed with ulcerative colitis and hepatocellular cancer. In this context, the characteristic symptoms of ulcerative colitis are considered: abdominal pain, frequent changes in the type of stool and inflammatory changes in various parts of the intestine. The results of gastroscopy and colonoscopy are analyzed. The third clinical case is a combined diagnosis, when the patient simultaneously shows signs of ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease. This case highlights the complexity of differential diagnosis and the importance of an individualized approach to treatment. Conclusion. The research work devoted to the differential diagnosis and treatment of ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease has revealed several important aspects that doctors face in such clinical cases. These include: the complexity of differential diagnosis, the role of additional diagnostic methods, and an individualized approach to treatment.
