【 摘 要 】

The introductory chapters (Chapters 1, 2) reviewed nutritional problems, methods of nutritional support and methods of assessing disease activity in Crohn's disease. Variable prevalences of macro- and micro-nutrient deficiencies occur in patients with Crohn's disease. Previous studies have concentrated on the role of intravenous nutrition for the correction of nutritional deficiencies.
