Celiac Disease: The Basics
ƒ Other names:
• Gluten-sensitive enteropathy
• Celiac sprue
• Non-tropical sprue
ƒ Chronic autoimmune intestinal disorder
ƒ Inherited
ƒ Atrophy of small intestinal villi from chronic
iinflammation

key nutrients
ƒ Key inciting trigger is gluten
Why is gluten intolerance important?
Chronic inflammation from gluten intolerance
leads to:
ƒ
Decreased absorption of macro- and micronutrients
ti t
ƒ Increased net secretion of water and solute
ƒ Involvement
In ol ement of m
multiple
ltiple organ ssystems

ƒ Increased risk of certain malignancies

as low as 1:2000 in many parts of the world)

Possible Solution
Poorly oriented biopsy specimens
False positive d
diagnosis
Large biopsies (jumbo forceps); single biopsy/pass; no tangential l b
l
sectioning
Patchy nature of villous atrophy
False negative biopsy result
Obtain adequate number of biopsies and take from different areas including duodenal bulb
Equivocal biopsy result (ie: Inconclusive intraepithelial diagnosis
lymphocytosis only)*
Review with expert GI pathologist; test for HLA DQ2 and DQ8 alleles; consider gluten challenge and repeat biopsy
No initial diagnostic biopsy

HLA Testing: Useful Adjunct to
Diagnosis of Celiac Disease
ƒ Presence can be used to determine which first degree family members need to be screened for celiac disese
ƒ Useful for ruling out disease in patients already on a gluten‐free diet
ƒ Can act as another important diagnostic piece in patients whom the diagnosis is unclear

Summary

f li di
h i
d d t increased recognition and advent of serology
ƒ Current standards for the diagnosis of celiac
disease require small bowel histology and
improvement on strict gluten

diet.
ƒ Serology and genetic tests are supportive,
but alone are not sufficient to diagnose celiac
disease.
