It is characterized pathophysiologically by mucosal damage, impaired epithelial barrier function resulting in increased permeability, and defective solute and water absorption by the inflamed intestinal epithelium Clinically, it frequently presents as chronic or relapsing diarrhea often accompanied by abdominal cramping, fecal urgency, tenesmus, and the passage of blood or mucus, with potential downstream risks of dehydration, electrolyte imbalances, and malabsorption
