PURPOSE To review the epidemiology, pathophysiology, clinical presentation, diagnosis, and management of celiac disease (CD). DATA SOURCES Review of literature using Pub Med and Access Medicine. The following search terms were used: celiac disease, malabsorption syndromes, diarrhea, and gluten-free diet (GFD). There was no limitation placed on publication year. Only articles written in Englis...

Celiac disease (CD) is an autoimmune condition, triggered by gluten ingestion, which affects the small intestine, destroying villi. It considered that in recent years CD has undergone a real “metamorphosis” due to constant increase diagnosed cases. The only treatment available for BC stick gluten-free diet throughout your life. Adherence GFD requires strict elimination of gluten-containing prod...

Background: Celiac disease (CD) is an autoimmune disorder that occurs in genetically predisposed individuals. Among the complications of celiac disease, idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy and myocarditis are popular causes considerable mortality morbidity. The objective this study to evaluate heart functioning CD children.
 Methods: This cross-sectional was conducted out on 40 children (twe...

GOALS To determine the prevalence and significance of immunoglobulin A (IgA) deficiency and partial deficiency in patients with celiac disease (CD). BACKGROUND Selective IgA deficiency is a common primary immunoglobulin deficiency and has a higher prevalence in patients with CD. The prevalence and significance of IgA deficiency and partial deficiency in patients with CD in the United States h...

Celiac disease (CD) is a common autoimmune enteropathy that occurs, in affected individuals, with exposure to gluten in the diet and improves with removal of dietary gluten. Although CD is readily considered in patients with classical presentations of the disease, atypical manifestations may be the only presenting symptoms. We present a case of CD in a 16-year-old female presenting as fever of ...

celiac disease (cd) is an immune-mediated disorder resulting in nutrient malabsorption now thought to have a prevalence of 1:100 in the iranian population.symptoms of cd are included diarrhea, abdominal pain, steatorrhea, bloating, cramps, flatulence, weight loss, weakness and short stature. in addition to presenting symptoms, patients are also at increased risk of metabolic bone disease, lymph...

REVIEW ARTICLE Background: Celiac disease (CD), as an autoimmune disease has initiated since ingestion of food containing gluten. Constant intolerance to gluten causes damages of the small intestinal mucosa. One reason of mal-absorption in children and infants is CD. Additionally, about 75% of newly identified patients with CD have low bone mineral density (BMD). Many factors have role in metab...

Celiac disease (CD) is a multifactorial disorder involving genetic and environmental factors, thus, having great potential impact on metabolism. This study aims at defining the metabolic signature of CD through Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) of urine and serum samples of CD patients. Thirty-four CD patients at diagnosis and 34 healthy controls were examined by (1)H NMR of their serum and urin...

INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES coeliac disease (CD) affects around 1-2 % of the world population. Most patients are now diagnosed when adults, suffering the consequences of an impaired bone mineralization. This review aims to provide an updated discussion on the relationship between low bone mineral density (BMD), osteopenia and osteoporosis, and CD. METHODS a PubMed search restricted to the las...

Celiac disease (CD) is an immune-mediated enteropathy, triggered by dietary wheat gluten and similar proteins of barley and rye in genetically susceptible individuals. This is a complex disorder involving both environmental and immune-genetic factors. The major genetic risk factor for CD is determined by HLA-DQ genes. Dysfunction of the innate and adaptive immune systems can conceivably cause i...
