Accutane and Crohn's Disease
Crohn's disease is an inflammatory bowel disease. It is a general name for diseases that cause swelling in the intestines. Because the symptoms of Crohn's disease are similar to other intestinal disorders, such as irritable bowel syndrome and ulcerative colitis, it can be difficult to diagnose. Ulcerative colitis causes inflammation and ulcers in the top layer of the lining of the large intestine. In Crohn's disease, all layers of the intestine may be involved, and normal healthy bowel can be found between sections of diseased bowel.
The most common symptoms of Crohn's disease are abdominal pain, often in the lower right area, and diarrhea. Rectal bleeding, weight loss, arthritis, skin problems, and fever may also occur. Bleeding may be serious and persistent, leading to anemia. Children with Crohn's disease may suffer delayed development and stunted growth. The range and severity of symptoms varies.
A thorough physical exam and a series of tests may be required to diagnose Crohn's disease. Blood tests may be done to check for anemia, which could indicate bleeding in the intestines. Blood tests may also uncover a high white blood cell count, which is a sign of inflammation somewhere in the body. By testing a stool sample, the doctor can tell if there is bleeding or infection in the intestines.
The doctor may do an upper GI series to look at the small intestine. For this test, the person drinks barium, a chalky solution that coats the lining of the small intestine, before x rays are taken. The barium shows up white on x-ray film, revealing inflammation or other abnormalities in the intestine. If these tests show Crohn's disease, more x rays of both the upper and lower digestive tract may be necessary to see how much of the GI tract is affected by the disease. The doctor may also do a visual exam of the colon by performing either a sigmoidoscopy or a colonoscopy.
Crohn's Disease & Accutane- Is it Connected?
On June 26, 2009 Accutane (Isotretinoin) was recalled in part due to a possible link to serious Accutane side effects and reports of Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), Crohn's Disease, Ulcerative Colitis and Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).New medical evidence has been published that the makers of Accutane, Roche Holding AG, has known about the possible link of Accutane and Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) since 1984 and has failed to warn its users of Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) and other serious side effects.
