Celiac disease in Turkish short‐statured children and the value of antigliadin antibody in diagnosis

Abstract: Background: It is generally accepted that celiac disease (CD) must always be taken into consideration when dealing with children manifesting growth failure. It is, therefore, important to have laboratory tests capable of detecting patients who should undergo intestinal biopsy. In this study, we have prospectively evaluated clinical characteristics, gliadin antibody measurements and duodenal biopsies in 47 children with short stature and without gastrointestinal symptoms, in order to determine the incidence of … Show more

“…The prevalence of CD was higher (35-59%) in the studies 11,[14][15][16][17][18] where either the endocrinal workup had been done and/or the sample was very small. In rest of the studies 10,13,[19][20][21][22][23][24] where the endocrinal causes had not been ruled out in the selected children and/or the sample size was relatively larger, the prevalence reported was lower (1.7-8.3%).…”

“…In a risk group such as short-stature children, studies using EMA and endoscopic small intestinal biopsy, CD prevalence was found as 7 of 84 (8.3%) and 26 of 47 (55.3%), respectively. 34,35 In another study from Turkey on blood donors using the anti-TTG test, the prevalence was 1.35%. 36 In a study on schoolchildren between 7 and 14 years of age in Eastern Turkey, AGA was positive in 23.6% and EMA was not positive in any child.…”
