Figure 7 Consensus-guided algorithm for the management of corticosteroid-resistant/dependent UCa. a5-ASA is not appropriate for corticosteroid-resistant/dependent UC. †The optimal time to assess for complete remission is uncertain but is between 4 and 12 months after initiation of therapy. When complete remission is achieved, therapy should be continued. Gastroenterology 2015 148, 1035-1058.e3DOI: (10.1053/j.gastro.2015.03.001) Copyright © 2015 AGA Institute Terms and Conditions
