Abstract

Crohn’s disease (CD) is the fundamental protagonist of so-called Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD). This is a term by which several entities are known. Its origin is multifactorial. It is characterized by chronic and recurrent inflammation with different degrees of involvement of the gastrointestinal tract, but also with potential commitment of other organs.

In the last decade there has been a renewed interest in these entities due to a boom in innovative medicines. Despite these medications, CD and IBD remain incurable. The increasing incidence of CD in our country requires us both scientifically and morally to develop basic, practical guidelines with checklists adapted to our environment for the diagnosis and management of CD through the first consultations of patients
