Abstract: In May 2018, the Consensus on Diagnosis and Management of Inflammatory Bowel Disease (Beijing, 2018) was published on Chinese Journal of Digestion, which was formulated by the Inflammatory Bowel Disease Group of the Chinese Medical Association Digestive Diseases Branch. The progress of the diagnosis and management of inflammatory bowel disease was updated on the basis of the 2012 consensus, providing canonical diagnosis and normative treatment for the medical personnel. This paper focuses on the diagnosis and management of ulcerative colitis, aiming to help the clinicians improve their understanding of the new consensus and the diagnosis and treatment of UC.
