Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
1. Group 1 (n=30): Patients will receive conventional treatment only (corticosteroids +immune suppressive +amino salicylic acid).
2. Group 2 (n=30): Patients will receive conventional treatment (corticosteroids +immune suppressive + aminosalicylic acid) and empagliflozin (0.4 - 0.5mg/kg/day) orally (maximum dose 25mg per day).
* The patient will be selected from the Gastroenterology and Endoscopy Unit, Internal Medicine.
. All patients will be subjected to the following:
* Complete history taking.
* Colonoscopy with intubation of the ileum and biopsies of affected and unaffected areas should be obtained to confirm the diagnosis of UC.
* Blood sample collection to assess:
A) Routine Laboratory tests
1. Complete blood picture (CBC).
2. Liver functions (ALT, AST, Total and Direct Bilirubin).
3. Kidney functions tests (Urea, serum creatinine).
4. C-reactive protein.
5. Fasting blood glucose.
6. Urine analysis. B) Specific Laboratory tests
1\. Tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α). 2. Adenosine monophosphate activate protein kinase (AMPK). 3. Fecal calprotectin. All patients will be assessed at baseline and after 4 months of therapy for all parameters
