Screening and Diagnosis of Celiac Diseases

Screening for celiac disease has been recommended for specific risk factors.

The anti-endomysium IgA antibody and anti-tissue transglutaminase IgA antibody tests are highly sensitive and specific in identifying individuals with celiac disease.

The anti-endomysium IgA antibody test is an immunofluorescent technique and is relatively expensive; interpretation is operator dependent and prone to errors so that it has largely been replaced by anti-tissue transglutaminase IgA antibody tests, which are simpler to perform and have similar sensitivity and specificity.

Anti-gliadin IgA and IgG and anti-reticulin IgA antibody tests are no longer recommended tests due to lack of specificity.

The anti-endomysium IgA and anti-tissue transglutaminase IgA antibody test can be falsely negative with IgA deficiency, which is associated with an increased incidence of celiac disease. Measurement of serum IgA concentration is mandatory to assure that false-negative results in IgA-deficient individuals are excluded. If celiac disease is suspected in patients with IgA deficiency, intestinal biopsy may be required. Because screening with antibodies may identify patients without documented celiac disease on biopsy, it is important to set the lower limit of antibody titers high enough to avoid false-positive results.

A. Normal
B. Celiac disease



Small Intestinal Biopsy.

Definitive diagnosis of celiac disease requires small intestinal biopsy, as none of the available serologic tests are 100% reliable. The characteristic histologic changes include partial or total villous atrophy, crypt elongation and decreased villous/crypt ratio, increased number of intraepithelial lymphocytes, intraepithelial lymphocyte mitotic index >0.2%, decreased height of epithelial cells, and loss of nuclear polarity. The mucosal involvement can be patchy, so multiple biopsies must be obtained. The intestinal biopsy–based criteria for diagnosis of celiac disease were published by the European Society of Pediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition and revised in 1990. According to the revised criteria, children with characteristic histologic features and unequivocal clinical response to gluten withdrawal can be considered definitive for celiac disease. Reversal of positive serologic tests after gluten withdrawal is considered supportive evidence. In children <2 yr of age, milk protein–sensitive enteropathy can produce changes similar to celiac disease; confirmation of diagnosis after a gluten challenge is sometimes required. This necessitates three biopsies: an initial biopsy at presentation, the 2nd to document healing with gluten withdrawal, and the 3rd to show recurrent damage with reintroduction of gluten.

  5. I'm 49 years old and female. I was diagnosed a couple of years ago with COPD and I was beyond scared! My lung function test indicated 49% capacity. After having had flu a year ago, the shortness of breath, coughing and chest pains continued even after being treated with antibiotics. I've been smoking two packs a day for 36 years. Being born without a sternum caused my ribs to be curled in just one inch away from my spine, resulting to underdeveloped lungs. At age 34 I had surgery and it was fixed. Unfortunately my smoking just caused more damage to my already under developed lungs. The problem was having is that I enjoy smoking and don't want to give up! Have tried twice before and nearly went crazy and don't want to go through that again. I saw the fear in my husband and children's eyes when I told them about my condition then they start to find solution on their own to help my condition.I am an 59 now who was diagnose COPD emphysema which I know was from my years of smoking. I started smoking in school when smoking was socially acceptable. I remember when smoking was permitted in hospitals. It was not known then how dangerous cigarettes were for us, and it seemed everybody smoked but i was able to get rid of my COPD lung condition through the help of  Dr Akhigbe   total cure herbal medicine. my husband saw his testimony on the internet he used his powerful medicine to cured differents diseases. we contacted his email   [drrealakhigbe@gmail.com}   He has the right herbal formula to help you get rid and repair any lung conditions and others diseases, will cure you totally and permanently with his natural organic herbs,We received the medicine through courier delivery service.
