About internal therapy of Crohn's disease

 Crohn's disease may invade all alimentary canal from a mouth to an anus, and it is said that it occurs for the inflammation that a cause is unidentified, and it is attacked an intestinal tract wall to deepening it.
Even if Crohn's disease does the surgical cure, patients wake up frequent recurrences, revival by the high probability.
Therefore, in Japan, medical treatment by nutrition care and pharmacotherapy become a basis much.

Crohn's disease that there is a lesion to the small intestine in particular eats a meal from regular oral, and digestion absorption obstacles.
Protein from bowel is a leak, and there seems to be much that a heat capacity delinquent is caused.
For this disease state, as for the nutrition care, it became clear along with improvement of the only nutritional status to let a bowel lesion cure.

In Japan, as for the treatment of Crohn's disease, nutrition care by the component nutrition agent is called partial response than pharmacotherapy.*1
 It passes chronically and symptom of Crohn's disease relapses in a high rate.
The condition is different greatly by the time to be light by a treatment in case of most cases at least for short term, and it isn't always a tendency of constant.
In addition, there is many that they turn worse again if they stop a treatment of the acute stage.A treatment of a short term may seem to be always reflected by the long-term consequence.Therefore, I think that patients themselves can't watch this disease as the disease that a course of life comes down too indulgently.*1
The disease classification and degree are checked by an X-ray examination and an endoscopy.
