Choroba Leśniowskiego-Crohna, określana jako nieswoista zapalna choroba jelit, jest zdefiniowana przez występowanie stanów zapalnych, które mogą się objawić w dowolnym miejscu przewodu pokarmowego - od jamy ustnej aż po odbytnicę. Obejmuje to nie tylko zewnętrzną warstwę ściany przewodu pokarmowego, ale także może przedostawać się głębiej, prowadząc do powstania przetok w wielu przypadkach. Niestety jest to przewlekłe schorzenie, które często przebiega z okresami zaostrzeń i remisji, a w większości przypadków bolesne objawy są ciągle obecne.
Forest-Crohn's disease is the cause
The exact cause of the disease is unknown. However, there are certain genetic predispositions to regulate the activity of macrophages, or immune cells linked to response to foreign antigens. The disease is a pathological immune system response that leads to frequent inflammatory processes. Also bacteria such as Escherichia coli, Clostridium difficile, Yersinia or Listeria are suspected to be one of the etiological factors, but this is only a hypothesis.
Forests and Crohn's disease are symptoms
The symptoms of the disease are often ambiguous. Fever, weakness, weight loss, abdominal pain may occur. Weight loss is most often associated with an increase in symptoms after eating, which discourages eating and leads to its limitation. It is also important to locate inflammatory changes. Most often, the final part of the esophagus is occupied in Crohn's disease. It may be associated with bleeding, which is characteristic of the course of this disorder.
Forest-Crohn's disease is a cure
Treatment depends primarily on the severity and location of the changes. The disease is completely unpredictable and, for example, after removing an infected intestinal fragment, pathological changes occur elsewhere. The basis of the treatment is to prevent recurrence of the disease. Patients are wary of smoking tobacco, exposure to infectious agents bacteria and viruses (which are important antibodies to inflammation) and if, for instance, the diet of people with inflammatory disease is not adequate to treat inflammation.
