Title: Duodenal mucosa in children with coeliac disease in catamnesis and varying compliance with the gluten-free diet | ||
Author: I. D. Uspenskaya, N. Y. Shirokova | ||
Abstract: Objectives: the aim of the study was to identify the characteristic morphometric data changes in the small intestine mucosa in response to varied compliance with gluten-free diet in children with coeliac disease. Methods: 71 children (47 girls and 24 boys) aged 2.5 to 16.5 (median age=10.6) with coeliac disease diagnosed according to the previously revised ESPGHAN criteria were included in the study. The patients were divided into three groups: 1 – on strict GFD, 2 – on semistrict GFD, 3 – not on GFD. Quantitative morphometric data on biopsies of duodenal mucosa in each group were compared with each other. |
