| pubmed-article:9645735 | pubmed:abstractText | Numerous investigators have shown increased bowel permeability in patients with Crohn's disease. It is unclear whether this is a precondition affecting the entire intestine or a consequence of the inflammation and, therefore, only affecting the diseased bowel. The present study tested the hypothesis that resection of diseased bowel in patients with ileocolonic Crohn's disease would correct abnormalities in bowel permeability. | lld:pubmed |
