Refractory celiac disease

Abstract: Refractory celiac disease (RCD) affects patients who have failed to heal after 6-12 months of a strict gluten-free diet (GFD) and when other causes of symptoms (including malignancy) have been ruled out. It may also occur in patients who previously had responded to a long-term GFD. RCD may be categorized as RCD1 (normal immunophenotype) and RCD2 (aberrant immunophenotype). RCD1 usually responds to a continued GFD, nutritional support, and therapeutic agents such as corticosteroids. In contrast, clinical respon… Show more

“…For these reasons, some authors recommend to detect and treat SIBO in patients with CD who do not improve their clinical status after GFD . Despite the main reasons of unresponsiveness to diet in CD are known to be represented by gluten contamination or refractory CD, SIBO could be considered in this condition. Indeed, our analysis did not find a statistically significant correlation between SIBO and symptom persistence in CD; however, the P value of .06 suggests that a tendency toward this condition could exist even if further studies are needed, to clarify this point.…”

“…RCD is considered a rarity in pediatric age and, although its exact prevalence and incidence in adulthood is unknown, it is an uncommon condition [85]. Due to the poor response of the disease to treatment at this stage and its prognosis, it is important to correctly make the diagnosis [86], which is considered exclusion. The complete histological evaluation of the entire small intestine is needed for the diagnosis of refractoriness or complications [87].…”

“…Two subtypes have been described: type 1 and 2, according to the different immunohistochemical phenotype. Type 1 in particular may be a complication of refractory celiac disease and is characterized by CD30 expression and singular chromosomal anomalies, such as 9q31.3 duplication or 16q12.1 deletion [118,119]. …”
