Celiac Disease: Recent Advances

This book, written by renowned experts, comprises advanced studies and researches concerning Celiac Disease (CD). CD is an immune-mediated enteropathy triggered by the ingestion of gluten-containing grains in genetically vulnerable people. CD can manifest itself with a formerly unacknowledged variety of clinical symptoms, inclusive of the usual malabsorption syndrome and a range of symptoms potentially disturbing any organ structure. As CD often manifests itself in an uncommon manner, many cases remain undiagnosed and carry the risk of long-term difficulties, including anemia and other hematological disorders, neurological disorders or cancer. The pervasiveness of the disorder and its range of clinical outcomes pose a number of questions. This book presents answers to these questions by compiling researches conducted by prominent experts in this field.
