Abstract
Crohn´s disease is characterised by malnutrition not only in acute phase. Nutritional deficiency is closely connected with various metabolic disturbances.
It is known, that various acute diseases may be associated with hypocholoesterolemia, which is connected with poor prognosis of critically ill patients. Moreover, lipids may play important role in the course of Crohn´s disease.
Due to these facts, it is important to understand evident and possible connections between alteration of lipid metabolism and clinical manifestation of Crohn´s disease.
