Crohn's Disease: Treatment

Description: The two most common forms of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) are ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease. Crohn's disease can occur anywhere within the digestive tract. While the most common complication of Crohn's disease is blockage of the intestine, patients also frequently suffer from nutritional complications, and may develop skin problems, inflammation in the mouth or eyes, and diseases of the liver. This course examines the prognoses and treatment options for Crohn's disease.
