title: Extraintestinal Manifestations Associated with Inflammatory Bowel Disease.
abstract: Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) affects multiple organ systems outside of the gastrointestinal tract. The clinician treating patients with IBD should be acutely aware of the diagnosis and treatment of extraintestinal manifestations in order to decrease morbidity. The management can be difficult and often times requires a multidisciplinary approach. Future research investigating the pathophysiology, diagnosis, and treatment is needed to further the care of these patients.
