Research progress of inflammatory bowel disease related intestinal fibrosis
Inflammatory bowel disease(IBD),including Crohn's disease(CD)and ulcerative colitis(UC),is a non-specific intestinal disease with unclear etiology and pathogenesis.Intestinal fibrosis is a common complication of IBD,which can occur in both UC and CD.It is also the basis of most long-term complications,often forming irreversible organ pathophysiological changes,which seriously affect the prognosis of IBD patients.Based on the research on the pathogenesis of intestinal fibrosis in IBD at home and abroad in recent years,this paper briefly reviewed the possible cy-tokines or molecular pathways involved in the development of intestinal fibrosis.
