What Do Bones Have to Do with Crohn’s?
What does the “age” of a child’s bones have to do with Crohn’s disease? It may sound strange, but poor bone growth is a sign of the disease’s toll on a pediatric Crohn’s patient.
Crohn’s disease can impede growth and delay puberty for children, and their bones may be less developed than their peers.
According to a new study, a child’s bone age should be measured as part of routine care, in order to assess their growth and decide on the best course of treatment.
