The effect of Statin on the treatment of ulcerative colitis

The results of a new study show that cheap statin pills, in addition to lowering cholesterol, may also help treat ulcerative colitis.

According to the Daily Mail, the results of a new study show that low-cost statins plus cholesterol-lowering pills may also help treat ulcerative colitis. Ulcerative colitis or ulcerative colitis is a form of inflammatory bowel disease that affects the intestines, especially the large intestine, including the rectum and rectum, and is a type of inflammatory bowel disease (colitis). The exact cause of the disease is not known, but a combination of microbial, genetic, immune, and lifestyle-related factors (such as diet) appear to play a role. Stress and living in an urban environment also seem to exacerbate the disease.

Studies by Stanford University researchers show that taking statin pills reduces the symptoms of the disease and halves the need for surgery.

It is not clear exactly why statins improve the condition of patients with ulcerative colitis, but these pills are believed to have anti-inflammatory benefits. Colitis occurs when the colon and rectum become inflamed and injured. This is the most common type of intestinal disease.

One in every 400 people in the UK has the disease, which is almost identical to the United States. About a third of patients eventually need surgery.
