Inflammation caused by Crohn’s disease can occur in different parts of the digestive tract, but is most common in the small intestine. Depending on the severity of the inflammation, it can reach the deeper layers of the intestine.
Complications include strictures (narrowing of the intestine), fistula formation (abnormal connections between organs), abscesses and the appearance of polyps. In rarer cases, it can cause problems in other parts of the body, such as joints, skin, eyes, and liver.
The disease can be debilitating and, in some cases, lead to serious complications that can even lead to the patient’s death. There is no cure for the disease, but treatments tend to significantly reduce symptoms.
The exact cause of Crohn’s disease is not known, but it is believed to be the result of a complex interaction between genetic, environmental, and immune system factors.
