How is Ulcerative Colitis Diagnosed in Children?

The diagnosis of ulcerative colitis in children typically involves a combination of:
- Clinical history and physical examination
- Laboratory tests (such as blood tests to check for anemia and inflammation markers)
- Stool tests to rule out infections
- Imaging studies, like abdominal X-rays or MRI
- Endoscopic procedures (colonoscopy or sigmoidoscopy) to visualize the colon and obtain biopsies
