Isifo sikaCrohn (CD) yisifo sokuvuvukala kwamathumbu esingamahlalakhona esingaqondile, Imvelaphi yesifo sikaCrohn ayikacaci, okwamanje, sihilela izakhi zofuzo, ukutheleleka, izici zemvelo kanye nezokulwa namasosha omzimba.

Emashumini eminyaka ambalwa edlule, ukwanda kwesifo sikaCrohn kuye kwanda kancane kancane. Kusukela kwashicilelwa uhlelo lwangaphambilini lweziqondiso zokuzijwayeza, kuye kwenzeka izinguquko eziningi ekuxilongweni nasekuphathweni kweziguli ezinesifo sikaCrohn. Ngakho-ke ngo-2018, i-American Society of Gastroenterology yabuyekeza umhlahlandlela weSifo sikaCrohn futhi yanikeza iziphakamiso ezithile zokuxilonga nokwelashwa, ezenzelwe ukuxazulula kangcono izinkinga zezokwelapha ezihlobene nesifo sikaCrohn. Kuthenjwa ukuthi udokotela uzokwazi ukuhlanganisa iziqondiso nezidingo zesiguli, izifiso kanye nezindinganiso lapho enza izinqumo zezokwelapha ukuze aphathe iziguli ezinesifo sikaCrohn ngendlela efanele nangokufanele.

Ngokusho kwe-American Academy of Gastroenteropathy (ACG): I-Fecal calprotectin (Cal) iyisibonakaliso sokuhlola esiwusizo, ingasiza ukuhlukanisa phakathi kwesifo samathumbu esivuvukalayo (IBD) kanye ne-irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). Ngaphezu kwalokho, izifundo eziningana zikhombisile ukuthi i-Fecal calprotectin ithola i-IBD kanye nomdlavuza we-colorectal, ukuzwela kokuhlonza i-IBD kanye ne-IBS kungafinyelela ku-84%-96.6%, ukucacisa kungafinyelela ku-83%-96.3.

Yazi kabanzi mayelanaI-calprotectin yendle (iCal).
