Research Notes on Ulcerative Colitis Complications


Ulcerative colitis is an inflammatory bowel disease that causes chronic inflammation of the digestive tract. The most serious, but rare, complication of ulcerative colitis is an acute condition called megacolon, which paralyzes the colon preventing you from having bowel movements or passing gas.1 Other possible complications include liver disease, severe dehydration, inflammation of the skin, joints, and eyes, perforated colon, and severe bleeding.

Fast Facts:

  • Not everyone who suffers from ulcerative colitis will experience complications.2
  • About 5% of people with ulcerative colitis develop colon cancer.3
  • Complications of ulcerative colitis are secondary conditions.3
  • Complications may involve other parts of the body.4
