Crohn's Disease (CD) Test

The Crohn’s Disease Test is designed to help evaluate inflammation and immune activity associated with Crohn’s disease, a chronic form of inflammatory bowel disease that affects the digestive tract. Crohn’s disease can cause ongoing inflammation anywhere from the mouth to the colon, most commonly impacting the small intestine and large intestine.

Chronic inflammation from Crohn’s disease can interfere with digestion and nutrient absorption, leading to symptoms such as abdominal pain, diarrhea, fatigue, weight loss, and malnutrition. Because symptoms often overlap with other gastrointestinal conditions, testing plays an important role in identifying whether Crohn’s disease may be the underlying cause.

Crohn’s disease is a lifelong condition that may alternate between periods of flare ups and remission. Early detection allows for earlier treatment, which may help reduce inflammation, control symptoms, and limit long-term damage to the digestive tract.

This test is also useful for individuals who have already been diagnosed with Crohn’s disease. Ongoing monitoring helps assess disease activity, evaluate treatment effectiveness, and identify complications before they become severe.

What Is Included In This Test?

This test evaluates markers associated with intestinal inflammation and immune response linked to Crohn’s disease.

Your results can help:

• Identify inflammation related to Crohn’s disease
• Support diagnosis when symptoms are persistent or unexplained
• Monitor disease activity over time
• Evaluate response to treatment
• Detect signs of disease progression or complications

Why Does This Test Matter?

Crohn’s disease can be difficult to diagnose because symptoms may come and go and resemble other digestive disorders. Testing helps provide objective evidence of inflammation that supports accurate diagnosis.

If left untreated, Crohn’s disease can lead to serious complications such as strictures, fistulas, abscesses, malnutrition, and increased risk of colon cancer. Identifying disease activity early allows for timely intervention that may prevent irreversible damage.

For individuals already diagnosed, regular testing helps track how well treatment is controlling inflammation and whether adjustments are needed. Monitoring disease activity supports better symptom control and long-term outcomes.

By clarifying the cause of symptoms and guiding treatment decisions, this test plays a key role in improving digestive health and overall quality of life.

Who Should Consider This Test?

This test is ideal for individuals with symptoms or risk factors associated with Crohn’s disease.

You should consider this test if you:

• Have persistent diarrhea or abdominal pain
• Experience unexplained weight loss or fatigue
• Have blood in your stool
• Have a family history of Crohn’s disease
• Have been diagnosed with Crohn’s disease and need monitoring
• Are concerned about complications of inflammatory bowel disease

Early testing supports better disease management and long-term digestive health.
