Description
The celiac/coeliac disease is caused by the gliadin fraction of wheat gluten and similar
proteins of rye and barley. The disease is manly manifested as chronic digestion
insufficiency in children or young adults. In addition, patients with celiac disease
have a greatly increased risk of developing malignant T-cell lymphoma of the small
bowel, as T-cell lymphoma was found in 6 of 10 patients with coeliac sprue. Early
diagnosis of celiac disease is important, because there is evidence that a gluten-free
diet might help to prevent complications and malignancies (including intestinal lymphoma).
The measurement of anti-gliadin-sIgA-antibodies may be useful as a screening criterion
before jejunal biopsy, the „Gold Standard“, and for the monitoring of the glutenfree
diet treatment.
