The global burden of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is currently significant and continues to grow due to the increasing prevalence of ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn's disease (CD), the increasing costs of diagnosis and treatment, and the high level of disability in patients with this disease. Categories, which leads to the search for risk factors and predictors of aggressive course and extraintestinal manifestations. According to the latest data, the prevalence of UC in Russia is 16.

The article provides updated information on the role of the intestinal microbiota, as well as endotoxemia and increased intestinal permeability syndromes in the pathophysiology of LC and its complications. The results of recent meta-analyses of the impact of dysbiotic disorders on the prognosis of the LC and the options for their correction are presented.
