Crohn's disease is a chronic inflammatory bowel disease in which the immune system attacks parts of the digestive tract, causing persistent inflammation that can affect any segment from the mouth to the anus — most commonly the end of the small intestine and the beginning of the large intestine. Unlike ulcerative colitis, Crohn's inflammation can penetrate the full thickness of the bowel wall, leading to complications such as strictures, fistulas, and abscesses. Management is long-term and highly individualised: some patients achieve lasting remission on oral or injectable medications, while others require biologic therapies targeting specific immune pathways, and a significant proportion will need surgery at some point to address complications or limited disease. The goal of modern treatment is not just symptom control but objective suppression of inflammation — verified by blood markers, stool tests, and endoscopy — to prevent bowel damage and preserve quality of life over the long term.
Oral or injectable medications — steroids to control flares quickly, followed by immunomodulators such as azathioprine or methotrexate — that calm the overactive immune response driving gut inflammation.
Estimated cost: ~$200 – $500
Typical tests: Complete blood count (CBC), C-reactive protein (CRP) and ESR, Liver function tests (LFT), Kidney function tests (KFT), Faecal calprotectin, Iron studies, vitamin B12, vitamin D, Tuberculosis screening (Mantoux / IGRA) — required before immunomodulator initiation, Hepatitis B and C serology. Done in India before admission.
Estimated cost in India: $1,500 – $3,000
Treatment duration in India: ~3 weeks (~5 hospital visit days across the full span)
Antibody-based injectable or infusion medications — such as infliximab, adalimumab, vedolizumab, or ustekinumab — that precisely target the immune signals responsible for bowel inflammation, used when standard medications are insufficient.
Estimated cost: ~$500 – $1,000
Typical tests: Complete blood count (CBC), CRP, ESR, Liver function tests (LFT), Kidney function tests (KFT), Tuberculosis screening — Mantoux test and/or IGRA (QuantiFERON-TB Gold), Chest X-ray, Hepatitis B surface antigen and anti-HBc, Hepatitis C antibody, Faecal calprotectin, Colonoscopy with biopsies (if not done within 6 months). Done in India before admission.
Estimated cost in India: $3,000 – $8,000
Treatment duration in India: ~3 weeks (~7 hospital visit days across the full span)
