celiac disease also known as gluten-sensitive enteropathy is characterized by intestinal mucosal damage and malabsorption from dietary intake of wheat, rye or barley. symptoms may appear with introduction of cereal in the first 3 years of life. a second peak in symptoms occurs in adults during the third or forth decade and even as late as eight decade of life. the prevalence of this disease is ...

Background. Celiac disease (CD) is more prevalent among type 1 diabetes (T1D) patients compared to the general population and can be accompanied by hypoglycemia episodes in T1D patients. Studies worldwide have reported CD prevalence with large variability. This study aimed estimate pooled of Methods. PubMed, Web Science, Science Direct, Scopus were searched without time limitation using keyword...

Circulating antigliadin antibody has been described in patients with gluten enteropathy although the prevalence varies in different studies. It has been suggested that the investigation for antigliadin antibody might be useful as a screening test. The object of the present study was to evaluate two different techniques for assaying these antibodies - an indirect immunofluorescent method and an ...

The first case of the simultaneous presence of macroamylasemia and macrolipasemia in a patient with gluten enteropathy (celiac disease) is described. Both macroenzymes were formed by association of polyclonal IgA with amylase and lipase. Both macroenzymes had molecular masses > 300 kDa.

Duodenal mucosa showed normal morphology, interepithelial lymphocytes, alkaline phosphatase, and sucrase in a girl with growth retardation and iron deficiency, but normal absorption of lactose and xylose after two years of abnormal stools. Mucosal lactase was low. Fourteen months later mucosal damage consistent with coeliac disease was evident, and gluten intolerance was subsequently confirmed ...

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 autoimmune disorder that affects approximately three million people in the United States. Furthermore, non-celiac gluten sensitivity (NCGS) affects an estimated additional 6% of the population, e.g., 20 million in the U.S. The only effective treatment of CD and NCGS requires complete removal of gluten sources from the diet. While required adherence to a gluten-free die...

Currently, gluten enteropathy (celiac disease) is one of the most urgent diseases with a genetically determined, autoimmune profile, which significantly reduces social adaptation and quality life patients. In recent years, there has been increased interest in studying relationship between celiac disease female reproductive dysfunction, but available data are contradictory. It necessary to furth...

Celiac Sprue, or gluten-sensitive enteropathy, is an inheritable human disease of the small intestine that is triggered by the dietary intake of gluten. Recently, several Proand Gln-rich peptide sequences (most notably PQPQLPY and analogs) have been identified from gluten with potent immunogenic activity toward CD4 T cells from small intestinal biopsies of Celiac Sprue patients. These peptides ...

Celiac disease (CD) is an autoimmune-mediated enteropathy triggered by dietary gluten in genetically prone individuals. The current treatment for CD is a strict lifelong gluten-free diet. However, in some CD patients following a strict gluten-free diet, the symptoms do not remit. These cases may be refractory CD or due to gluten contamination; however, the lack of response could be related to o...
