Duodenal Mucosa in Celiac Disease. This video endoscopy sequence shows magnifying endoscopy that displayed the mucosa of the duodenum with flat or absent microvillis. Celiac disease (CD) is a genetic disorder. In people with CD, eating certain types of protein, called gluten, sets off an autoimmune response that causes damage to the small intestine. This, in turn, causes the small intestine to lose its ability to absorb the nutrients found in food, leading to malnutrition and a variety of other complications. The offending protein, gluten, is found in wheat, barley, rye, and to a lesser extent. characterized by damage to the mucosal lining of the small intestine which is known as villous atrophy.

Duodenal Mucosa in Celiac Disease.

This video endoscopy sequence shows magnifying endoscopy that displayed the mucosa of the duodenum with flat or absent microvillis.

 Celiac disease (CD) is a genetic disorder. In people with
 CD, eating certain types of protein, called gluten, sets off
 an autoimmune response that causes damage to the small
 intestine. This, in turn, causes the small intestine to lose its
 ability to absorb the nutrients found in food, leading to
 malnutrition and a variety of other complications.

 The offending protein, gluten, is found in wheat, barley,
 rye, and to a lesser extent.

 Characterized by damage to the mucosal lining of the small
 intestine which is known as villous atrophy. responsible for
 the malabsorption of nutrients resulting in malnutrition.

Celiac disease endocopic video. Mosaicism and fold scalloping in duodenum. Celiac disease has a 95 percent genetic predisposition and, thus, it is frequently associated with autoimmune conditions such as diabetes mellitus type 1 and thyroid disease. Untreated patients have an increased incidence of osteoporosis and intestinal lymphoma. Excellent diagnostic screening tests are now available, including those that detect antigliadin and antiendomysial antibodies. Therapy with a gluten-free diet is effective, resulting in complete resolution of symptoms and secondary complications in almost all patients.
