CROHN’S DISEASE

Crohn’s disease is a group of disorders termed as Inflammatory Bowel Diseases. The other disease included in this group is Ulcerative Colitis. IBD occurs when the immune system contributes to damage of the gastrointestinal tract by causing inflammation. Crohn’s disease causes inflammation, deep ulcers and scarring in any portion of the digestive tract from mouth to anus. It is most commonly seen in the last part of the small intestine called the terminal ileum and the caecum.

Causative factors for Crohn’s disease:

The exact cause of Crohn’s disease remains unknown. Diet and stress factors may aggravate the symptoms, but don’t cause Crohn’s disease. A number of factors, such as heredity and a malfunctioning immune system, likely play a role in its development.

Immune system:It’s possible that a virus or bacterium may trigger Crohn’s disease. When the immune system tries to fight off the invading microorganism, an abnormal immune response causes the immune system to attack the cells in the digestive tract.

Heredity:Crohn’s disease is more common in people who have family members with the disease, so genes may play a role in making people more susceptible. However, most people with Crohn’s disease don’t have a family history of the disease.

Symptoms:

  • Persistent Diarrhea
  • Rectal bleeding
  • Urgent need to move bowels
  • Abdominal cramps and pain
  • Sensation of incomplete evacuation
  • Chronic constipation can lead to bowel obstruction
  • Fever
  • Loss of appetite
  • Weight Loss
  • Fatigue
  • Night sweats

How to diagnose Crohn’s disease?

Combination of endoscopy with biopsies and radiological testing to help confirm a diagnosis of Crohn’s disease. These following tests also help to diagnose:

Tests for anemia or infection: to check for anaemia in which there are not enough red blood cells to carry adequate oxygen to tissues

Fecal occult blood test: To test for hidden blood in stools.

Colonoscopy: Help to check the inflammatory cells called granulomas in the colon.

Flexible sigmoidoscopy: Help to examine the sigmoid colon.

Computerized tomography (CT scan): This test looks at the entire bowel as well as at tissues outside the bowel. CT scan provides better images of the small bowel.

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI): MRI is particularly useful for evaluating a fistula around the anal area or the small intestine.
