Isifo sikaCrohn (CD) sisifo esingapheliyo sokudumba kwamathumbu esingachazwanga, Imvelaphi yesifo sikaCrohn ayikacaci, okwangoku, sibandakanya izinto zemfuza, usulelo, imeko-bume kunye ne-immunologic.

Kwiminyaka embalwa edlulileyo, ukwanda kwesifo sikaCrohn kuye kwanda kancinci. Ukusukela oko kwapapashwa uhlelo lwangaphambili lwezikhokelo zokuziqhelanisa, kuye kwenzeka utshintsho oluninzi ekuxilongweni nasekunyangweni kwezigulane ezinesi sifo sikaCrohn. Ngoko ke ngo-2018, i-American Society of Gastroenterology ihlaziye isikhokelo seSifo sikaCrohn kwaye yazisa ezinye iingcebiso zokuxilonga kunye nonyango, ezenzelwe ukusombulula ngcono iingxaki zonyango ezinxulumene nesifo sikaCrohn. Kuthenjwa ukuba ugqirha uya kukwazi ukudibanisa izikhokelo neemfuno zesigulana, iminqweno kunye nexabiso xa esenza izigqibo zeklinikhi ukuze akwazi ukuphatha ngokufanelekileyo nangokufanelekileyo izigulane ezinesi sifo sikaCrohn.

Ngokutsho kwe-American Academy of Gastroenteropathy (ACG): I-Fecal calprotectin (Cal) luphawu lovavanyo oluluncedo, lunokunceda ukwahlula phakathi kwesifo samathumbu esivuthayo (IBD) kunye ne-irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). Ukongeza, izifundo ezininzi zibonise ukuba i-Fecal calprotectin ibona i-IBD kunye nomhlaza we-colorectal, uvakalelo lokuchonga i-IBD kunye ne-IBS lunokufikelela kwi-84%-96.6%, ubunyani bunokufikelela kwi-83%-96.3.

Yazi okungakumbi malungaI-calprotectin yendle (iCal).
