Literature Data on the Effect of Ulceral Colitis on the Liver

Abstract

Liver diseases can be a complication of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), such as ulcerative colitis (UC) or Crohn's disease. The liver, which is the body's factory and sewer, produces proteins, breaks down toxins, and produces bile. It can become inflamed if inflammatory bowel disease is not treated properly. Unfortunately, some medications used to treat inflammatory bowel disease can also damage the liver.
