[Clinical courses of celiac disease]
Abstract:
The article describes the clinical picture of different options of celiac disease. The disease has mostly a subdued and oligosymptomatic form and is associated with different autoimmune diseases. The screening celiac disease diagnostics (detection of gliadin, endomysium and tissue transglutaminase anti-antibodies) is used to detect the celiac disease in patients belonging to the risk group. The morphologic study of the small intestine mucous membrane is the most reliable diagnostics method. A strict life-term gluten-free diet is the key method for celiac disease treatment. In case of severe malabsorption syndrome, metabolic disorders are corrected.

Diagnostic studies
A colonoscopy is the definitive screening test, distinguishing ulcerative colitis from other colon diseases with similar symptoms. During a colonoscopy test, inflamed mucosa with exudate ulcerations can be observed, and biopsies are taken to determine the histologic characteristics of the colonic...
