Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine whether chromoendoscopy using Indigo-Carmine dye spray is useful in diagnosing microscopic colitis among patients undergoing colonoscopy due to chronic watery diarrhea.

Conditions

  • Chronic Diarrhoea
  • Lymphocytic Colitis
  • Collagenous Colitis

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Colonoscopy with Indigo-Carmine Chromoendoscopy

Colonoscopy with chromoendoscopy using 0.2-0.5% Indigo-Carmine solution sprayed in five areas of the large intestine: Cecum, ascending colon, transverse colon, descending colon and rectum.
