Core Tip |
We attempted to determine whether indicators such as anti-tissue transglutaminase antibodies (aTTG), anti-deamidated gliadin peptide antibodies (aDGP), and abdominal ultrasonography could predict villous atrophy (VA). We studied patients who were diagnosed with celiac disease and were on a gluten-free diet for at least one year; they were followed up for a maximum of four years. We determined that aTTG and aDGP were not optimal markers of persistent VA. However, we found that a combination of serology and bowel ultrasound examination enabled detection of VA with better accuracy. |
