causes of deathmortalityBackground: The best way to obtain knowledge about the natural history, including mortality, of ulcerative colitis (UC) is to conduct a longitudinal, population-based, prospective study. The aims of this study were to calculate the mortality rates and causes of death in ...
Ulcerative colitis is a lifelong illness, but the overall mortality is not greater than in the general population. However, mortality is increased in patients who develop shock and surgical complications. When the muscularis propria is involved, it may damage the nerves resulting in dilatation, aper...

Specific causes, such as amebic or bacillarydysentery, are rarer than unknown or multiple causes. The condition is treated with sulfasalazine, corticosteroids, immunosup...
The cause of ulcerative colitis is believed to be somehow related to abnormal immunologic reactions of the body to the bacteria normally found in the colon. The cause of ulcerative colitis is not known. To date, there has been no convincing evidence that it is caused by infection or is conta...

Neonatal capsaicin treatment, resulting in sensory denervation, exacerbated colitis with increased weight loss, delayed recovery...
