Celiac disease - Causes, Symptoms, Diagnosis, Treatment & Prevention
What is Celiac disease ?
Celiac disease affects the small intestine, causing inflammation that can lead to damage in the lining of the intestine. This damage affects the absorption of nutrients from food. It’s a chronic condition that requires lifelong management through a strict gluten-free diet.
Symptoms of Celiac disease
Causes of Celiac disease
Genetic Predisposition
Presence of specific genetic markers, particularly HLA-DQ2 and HLA-DQ8 genes, increases susceptibility.
Immune Response to Gluten
Ingestion of gluten triggers an abnormal immune response, leading to inflammation and damage to the small intestine.
Family History
Having a first-degree relative with celiac disease increases the risk.
Environmental Factors
Timing and amount of gluten exposure, as well as potential influences from gut microbiota and viral infections, may contribute to disease development.

Diagnosis of Celiac disease
Blood Tests
Initial screening involves blood tests to detect specific antibodies associated with celiac disease, such as anti-tissue transglutaminase (anti-tTG) and anti-endomysial antibodies (EMA).
Symptom Evaluation
Symptoms such as digestive issues, fatigue, and nutritional deficiencies are considered alongside laboratory and biopsy findings to make a comprehensive diagnosis.
Small Intestine Biopsy
Confirmation typically requires a small intestine biopsy, where a tissue sample is taken to assess the damage to the villi (small finger-like projections in the intestine).
Genetic Testing
Genetic testing for HLA-DQ2 and HLA-DQ8 genes may be used to support diagnosis, especially in unclear cases or to rule out celiac disease.
