Clinical updates on diagnosing glutensensitive enteropathy
Keywords:
Coeliac disease, Antibodies, Intestinal biopsy, DiagnosisAbstract
In the last twenty years serology for the diagnosis of coeliac disease hasimproved substantially. As the result of our serological studies in 1998we proposed a gentle, low-risk, and cost eff ective algorithm for diagnosingvarious forms of gluten sensitive enteropathy, using a combinationof diff erent antibody determinations, namely IgA Endomysiumantibodies (EMA), Tissue-transglutaminase antibodies (IgA anti tTG,IgG anti tTG), IgA-and IgG antigliadin-antibodies. Performing routinelyserologic testing contributes to a decreased rate of endoscopicinterventions and improves the quality of the patient’s life.Downloads
