The cause of this disease is unknown; however, it has been debated that the body reaction to bacteria in the bowel causes inflammation, thus the primary symptom of Crohn. Because of the inflammation, the bowels empty frequently, causing diarrhea and cramping. However, a serious concern with Crohn Disease is the possibility of a blockage in the intestines, due to swelling and the presence of scar tissue. Another complication is the infection of small fistulas, or tunnels, that develop between the affected area and surrounding tissue. Arthritis, kidney stones, gallstones, and liver disease are also possible complications associated with Crohn Disease.
Nutritional deficiencies are also common with Crohn Disease. This may be due to poor absorption as well as inadequate diet. When people have digestive issues, they tend to alter their diet, sometimes to their detriment. When food is consumed, is it often not absorbed into the system correctly because of the inflammation and swelling in the intestines. This is also the primary reason for weight loss among Crohn sufferers.
People with Crohn Disease are often diagnosed by testing and a physical examination. A series of tests, such as blood testing, an upper gastrointestinal (GI) series, and a colonoscopy, may be completed to determine if Crohn is present. A blood test may show an increase in white blood cells or anemia, which would point to an infection as well as bleeding in the intestines. A GI series, as well as a colonoscopy, will show inflammation and other intestinal abnormalities.
