Management of Celiac Disease - 18/10/12
, Daniel A. Leffler, MD b, Paul J. Ciclitira, MD cRésumé |
Celiac disease (CD) is an enteropathy-induced immune response that occurs on exposure to toxic gluten in the diet and is reversible once gluten is withdrawn. A gluten-free diet is the preferred treatment for CD and leads to reversal of villous atrophy. Counseling, nutritional support, and follow-up are vital aspects in CD management. The pickup rate of CD has improved with the availability of serologic tests, and this has led to a reduction in morbidity in treated CD cases. Managing CD can potentially prevent or cure some of the associated conditions, such as neurologic complications, nutritional deficiencies, and osteoporosis.
