Is there a gold standard for Crohn's disease diagnosis?

The occurrence of Crohn's disease is mainly related to environmental factors, genetic factors, immune factors and other reasons. It generally needs to be combined with clinical manifestations, blood routine examination, X-ray angiography, CT examination, ultrasound examination and other items to make a judgment. Secondly, the patient also needs to make a judgment based on the fecal occult blood test. If the test result is found to be positive, it can assist in the diagnosis of the condition.

If the patient is diagnosed with Crohn's disease, he needs to take aminosalicylic acid preparations, glucocorticoid drugs, immunosuppressants and other drugs with the support of medical staff, which can control the disease and reduce abdominal pain, diarrhea, fever and other phenomena caused by the disease.
