Summary

Coeliac disease is an autoimmune disorder triggered by gluten, leading to malabsorption. Strict gluten-free diets effectively manage symptoms and allow villous atrophy to heal, with antibody testing aiding diagnosis of atypical forms.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Immunology
  • Dietetics

Background:

  • Coeliac disease is a gluten intolerance causing chronic diarrhea, malabsorption, and villous atrophy.
  • Atypical and asymptomatic forms are increasingly recognized, highlighting the need for advanced diagnostics.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To summarize the current understanding of coeliac disease.
  • To emphasize the diagnostic role of specific antibodies.
  • To detail the management through a strict gluten-free diet.

Main Methods:

  • Review of clinical presentation and diagnostic criteria for coeliac disease.
  • Discussion of serological markers: anti-gliadin, anti-endomysium, and anti-transglutaminase antibodies.
  • Emphasis on the therapeutic impact of a gluten-free diet.

Main Results:

  • Gluten-free diet leads to complete regression of symptoms and villous atrophy.
  • Specific antibody testing aids in identifying atypical and asymptomatic coeliac disease.
  • Wheat flour allergy must be distinguished from coeliac disease.

Conclusions:

  • Coeliac disease is a well-established autoimmune condition.
  • Accurate diagnosis and strict adherence to a gluten-free diet are crucial for patient management.
  • Individualized diagnostic approaches are necessary for diverse clinical presentations.
