Crohn's disease vs ulcerative colitis nursing review of the symptoms, treatment, diet, and pathophysiology for NCLEX. In this video, you will see an ulcerative colitis vs Crohn's disease chart/table that explains the similarities and differences between these two types of IBD (inflammatory bowel diseases). In addition, I will give you two Crohn's disease vs ulcerative colitis mnemonics to help you differentiate between Crohn's complications and ulcerative colitis signs and symptoms.

Crohn's and ulcerative colitis are two types of inflammatory bowel diseases that cause inflammation and ulcers formation in the GI tract. Crohn's disease affects the whole bowel lining to the serosa. While ulcerative colitis (uc) affects the inner lining of the GI lining (the mucosa and submucosa).

Both diseases increase a person's risk of developing colon cancer. Complications associated with Crohn's disease are: abscesses, fistulas, malnourishment, fissures, and strictures/bowel obstruction. Complications associated with ulcerative colitis include: toxic megacolon, rupturing of the bowel which leads to peritonitis.
