Abstract:

Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) is a chronic and recurring condition of unknown origin that affects the gastrointestinal tract. It presents in two distinct forms, Ulcerative Colitis (UC) and Crohn's Disease (CD). This case study focuses on a 28-year-old female patient who experienced symptoms such as diarrhea, abdominal pain, and rectal bleeding during her pregnancy. Subsequently, she was diagnosed with UC along with Autoimmune Hemolytic Anemia (AIHA). It is crucial to closely monitor patients with UC for potential complications like AIHA. Further research is necessary to enhance our understanding of this rare complication and develop more effective treatments for affected patients.
