Manejo y tratamiento actual de la enfermedad de Crohn

Abstract

Crohn's disease (CD) is a chronic inflammatory condition that affects the digestive system whose incidence and prevalence has been increasing in recent years. This pathology has been considered idiopathic, however in recent years it has been seen that it has a close relationship with genetic predisposition. Not knowing it’s etiology can generate controversies about which treatment is the most appropriate for solving the objectives, however the treatment focuses on the use of monoclonal antibodies, immunomodulators and even surgical procedures. It is of utmost importance to establish a close doctor-patient relationship in this pathology given the persistence of episodes of remission and relapses.
