Ulcerative colitis (UL-sur-uh-tiv koe-LIE-tis) is an inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) that causes inflammation and ulcers (sores) in your digestive tract. Ulcerative colitis affects the innermost lining of your large intestine (colon) and rectum. Symptoms usually develop over time, rather than suddenly.

ICD-10 | Ulcerative colitis, unspecified, without complications (K51. 90)
What's the difference between colitis and ulcerative colitis? Colitis means your colon is inflamed, or irritated. This can be caused by many things, such as infections from viruses or bacteria. Ulcerative colitis is more severe because it is not caused by an infection and is lifelong.
Dependent on the anatomic extent of involvement, UC can be classified as proctitis, left-sided colitis, or pancolitis. Inflammatory arthropathies and primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) are the most common and clinically most important extraintestinal manifestations of UC.
Indeterminate colitis (IC) originally referred to those 10-15% of cases of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) in which there was difficulty distinguishing between ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn's disease (CD) in the colectomy specimen.
Quiescent (inactive) colitis refers to architectural abnormalities of chronic colitis in the absence of significant neutrophilic crypt injury. These changes include atrophy, irregularity and shortening of crypts, thickening of the muscularis mucosae, or metaplasia (Paneth cell or pyloric metaplasia) (Figure 11B).
A09 Other gastroenteritis and colitis of infectious and unspecified origin.
Ulcerative proctitis is a mild form of ulcerative colitis, a chronic inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) consisting of fine ulcerations in the inner mucosal lining of the large intestine that do not penetrate the bowel muscle wall.
Cryptitis and colitis are both terms used to describe inflammation in the intestines, but the terms are used in different contexts. Cryptitis refers specifically to the presence of inflammation in the crypts of the small or large intestine when viewed under a microscope. Cryptitis isn't a disease or a diagnosis.
