WHO? WHEN? WHY? HOW? Digestive system The human digestivesystem comprise of thegastrointestinal tract andmany other organs fordigestion like tongue,salivary glands, pancreas,liver, and gallbladder.Digestion involves thebreakdown of food intosmaller and smallercomponents, until they canbe absorbed andassimilated into the body.Crohn's disease is aninflammatory boweldisease (IBD). It causesinflammation in thedigestive tract that causesabdominal pain, severediarrhoea, fatigue,depletion of weight andmalnutrition. Inflammationdue to the Crohn's diseasecan occur in differentportions of the digestivetract in different people.1. Crohn’s disease is a chronicinflammatory condition of thegastrointestinal tract that canoccur at any portion of the GI tract.2. The inflammation initially occursin areas of the mucosa that linesthe inside of the intestines. Laterthe disease can invade deepertissues of the intestinal wall.3. The inflammation damages thelining of the intestine and thus itrestricts the absorption ofnutrients, water, and fats from thefood that’s eaten. As theinflammation invades deeper intothe intestinal tissues, the intestinalwall becomes thicker, narrowingthe bowel lumen (the spacethrough which food passes).4. Crohn's disease can also causeproblems around the anus. Thesemay include tiny but painful cracksin the skin known as anal fissures.5. Crohn's disease can cause avariety of related inflammatoryconditions outside of the digestivetract. The usual sites are skin,joints, mouth, eyes, liver, and bileducts.6. Due to the problems occuring inthe digestive system because ofCrohn's disease these leads todifferent symptoms like rupture ofthe intestine, painful eyeconditions, arthritis, hepatitis,jaundice.IBD management requiresa multidisciplinaryapproach in whichphysicians, nurses, socialworkers work together.Among the professionalsinvolved in therapy of IBD,nurses play an importantrole. Nurses must evaluatetheir own professionalpractice, establishpriorities, collaborate withother professionals,manage follow-up ofpatient care.People who have beendiagnosed with Crohn'sdisease should beeducated on how toprevent or manage thedisease.
