Abstract: This study was aimed to focus in discussing the most important aspects of Microscopic Colitis (MC), Therefore reviewing the evidence on the causes, diagnosis and treatment of MC was performed. We conducted search of the literature of published studies discussing Microscopic Colitis (MC) by searching following database; PubMed/Midline, and Embase, using the following MeSH terms: “Microscopic colitis, collagenous colitis, lymphocytic colitis combined with causes, diagnosis, and treatment”. Additional reports were found searching the reference list of identified studies. This search was restricted to English language with human subject’s literature only. MC is a relatively typical reason for chronic diarrhea, especially in older patients. In some populations, the incidence of MC has stabilized after a period of substantial boost, while in others the occurrence continues to rise. Colon biopsies are required for medical diagnosis and needs to be thought about in any patient undergoing colonoscopy to evaluate chronic watery diarrhea. The two subtypes of MC, collagenous and lymphocytic colitis, are similar histologically and clinically and appear to react similarly to numerous medical therapies. Although there are fairly couple of regulated trials of therapies for MC, the treatment technique presented here normally results in satisfactory control of symptoms, although maintenance therapy is often needed.
Keywords: Microscopic Colitis (MC), Etiology, Diagnosis and Treatment approaches.
