An early diagnosis of inflammatory bowel disease is important in preventing long-term complications. Prompt treatment can improve quality of life, reduce the likelihood of hospitalizations, and help maintain remissions. However, establishing a diagnosis is often challenging due to the nonspecific and fluctuating nature of symptoms. Inflammatory bowel disease can also mimic other GI conditions. In addition, diagnostic confirmation usually requires a combination of blood tests, imaging, endoscopy, and histological analysis, making the process both time consuming and complex. The topic for today's podcast is “Diagnosing Inflammatory Bowel Disease and Monitoring Modalities” and my guests are David H. Bruining, M.D., and Nayantara Coelho-Prabhu, M.B.B.S., from the Division of Gastroenterology and Hepatology at the Rochester campus of the Mayo Clinic.
