Assessment of Mucosal Inflammation and Circulation in Response to Probiotics in Patients Operated with Ileal Pouch Anal Anastomosis for Ulcerative Colitis

Abstract

The results suggest that probiotics primarily act superficially, with change of gross appearance of the mucosa at endoscopy, but without significant effect on histological picture, mucosal perfusion or faecal calprotectin, during a relatively short period of 4 weeks.
