AbstractCrohn disease and ulcerative colitis, the predominant forms of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), occur in approximately 1% of the population and are typically characterized by chronic diarrhea (with or without bleeding), abdominal pain, and weight loss. The diagnosis is based on history, physical examination, laboratory studies, and endoscopic evaluation. Extraintestinal manifestations may coincide with or precede IBD diagnosis. Treatments have markedly advanced in the past decade, resulting in improved outcomes. IBD, itself, as well as immunosuppressive therapy can increase rates of certain conditions, making collaboration between primary care and gastroenterology imperative for ensuring comprehensive patient care.Copyright © 2023 Elsevier Inc.
