Crohn’s Disease
What is a Crohn’s Disease
Crohn disease is a chronic (slowly developing, long-term) inflammation of the digestive tract.
Causes of Crohn 's Disease
The most popular theory is that the body's immune system reacts to a virus or a bacterium by causing ongoing inflammation in the intestine.
Symptoms of Crohn's Disease
The most common symptoms of Crohn's disease are abdominal pain, often in the lower right area, and diarrhea. Rectal bleeding, weight loss, and fever may also occur.
Diagnois of Crohn's Disease
Blood tests may be done to check for anemia, which could indicate bleeding in the intestines. Blood tests may also uncover a high white blood cell count, which is a sign of inflammation somewhere in the body.
