Summary

Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder triggered by gluten. A strict gluten-free diet is the only treatment, leading to mucosal recovery in genetically predisposed individuals.

Clinical nutrition ESPEN·2020

Area of Science:

  • Immunology
  • Gastroenterology
  • Genetics

Context:

  • Celiac disease (CD), or gluten-sensitive enteropathy, is an autoimmune condition.
  • It affects genetically predisposed individuals upon gluten ingestion.
  • Gluten triggers self-perpetuating mucosal damage, while its elimination allows for complete mucosal recovery.

Purpose:

  • To provide an overview of celiac disease.
  • To discuss its triggers, manifestations, diagnosis, and treatment.

Summary:

  • CD prevalence ranges from 0.3% to 1% globally.
  • Clinical presentations vary, including classical gastrointestinal, atypical, and asymptomatic forms.
  • Diagnosis relies on small intestinal biopsy, supported by serological tests like antigliadin antibody (AGA), antiendomysial antibody (EMA), and anti-tissue transglutaminase antibody (tTG).

Impact:

  • Highlights the autoimmune nature of celiac disease.
  • Emphasizes the diagnostic role of serological markers and biopsy.
  • Underscores the critical importance of a lifelong gluten-free diet for managing CD and achieving mucosal recovery.
