Abstract
The goals of therapy for ulcerative colitis have moved from symptom improvement to mucosal healing, and finally histologic resolution. The natural history of histologic inflammation in ulcerative colitis progresses from initial cellular infiltration to architectural disruption and recovery on medical therapy. Many studies have linked histologic changes to clinical outcomes, providing prognostic value to histologic abnormalities. This review covers all these components.Entities:
