UCDA (Ulcerative Colitis Disease Activity)

UCDA, or Ulcerative Colitis Disease Activity, is a measure used by healthcare providers to assess how active or severe ulcerative colitis is in a patient. Ulcerative colitis is a condition where inflammation affects the colon, causing symptoms like diarrhea, bleeding, and abdominal pain. The UCDA score helps doctors determine the current level of inflammation and symptoms to guide treatment decisions. It considers factors such as stool frequency, presence of blood, and overall health. Monitoring UCDA helps ensure appropriate management, track disease progress, and evaluate the effectiveness of therapy.
