Screening för celiaki kan vara motiverad i högriskgrupper

Abstract
Coeliac disease is widespread and occurs in 0.5-1 per cent of the population. Most sufferers show atypical symptoms and might well remain undiagnosed. Endomysial or human transglutaminase autoantibody levels of type IgA can be recommended as screening instruments combined with s-IgA for exclusion of such deficiency. In contrast, there is a high frequency of false-positive IgA gliadin antibody test results, especially where coeliac disease is common, as in chronic liver disease, diabetes, thyroid disease and conditions with chromosomal aberrations (Down syndrome and Turner syndrome). Despite this, gliadin antibodies of type IgA are still the best marker for coeliac disease in children under two years of age. While mass screening is not to... (More)

A positive biopsy is still the gold standard for diagnosis. (Less)
Abstract (Swedish)
Celiaki förekommer hos 0,5–1 procent av befolkningen.

Majoriteten av dem med celiaki har atypiska symtom

och är inte diagnostiserade.

Personer med vissa kromosomrubbningar eller annan

autoimmun sjukdom och nära släktingar till personer

med celiaki tillhör riskgrupper där screening

kan rekommenderas.

IgA-endomysie- eller IgA-transglutaminasantikroppar

har båda hög specificitet och hög sensitivitet för

celiaki och används idag för screening. Vid IgA-brist

kan IgG-antikroppar analyseras i stället.

IgA-gliadinantikroppar är ofta falskt positiva men är

trots detta den bästa markören hos barn under 2 år.

Celiaki är oftast HLA-associerad, i de flesta fall till

DQ2 (80 procent) annars till DQ8 (20 procent). Ett alternativ

i framtiden kan vara att i vissa riskgrupper

först bestämma HLA-typ och därefter antikroppstiter.

Biopsi är fortfarande etablerad standardmetod för att

bekräfta diagnosen celiaki. (Less)
