Does colonoscopy cause increased ulcerative colitis symptoms?
In our study, 1 in 8 subjects had UC relapse by SCCAI immediately postcolonoscopy, and 1 in 10 subjects required an increase in their 5-ASA medications. Clinicians should be cognizant of this effect of colonoscopy in patients with UC.
These analyses suggest for the first time that pretransplant PH correlates with patient survival after kidney transplantation.
