Overview
Brief Summary
In this study we will assess the baseline clinical severity and mucosal involvement using endoscopy and histology in patients of Severe and Moderate Ulcerative Colitis at baseline and reassess the Endoscopic and Histological activity achieved at the end of 6 weeks and 6 months by using the composite score of validated Endoscopic scores and Histologic Indices in School of Digestive and Liver Disease Department of Gastroenterology IPGMER & SSKM Hospital
