2000, American Journal of GastroenterologyCitation Excerpt :Finally, the use of steroids and cyclosporin, which are at present the treatment of choice in severe UC, should be reconsidered in those patients with MODS. Corticosteroids and cyclosporin could even prove harmful in MODS, increasing intestinal permeability and reducing both mucosal barrier function and the defensive response of the host (55–58). In conclusion, UC must be included among the causes of MODS.
