Article Synopsis
- Nutritional anemia affects around 1.6 billion people globally, with limited data on its connection to celiac disease (CeD) in Western India.
- In a study of 116 patients with nutritional anemia, 16.3% tested positive for IgA anti-tissue transglutaminase antibodies, and 9.3% had biopsy-confirmed CeD.
- Chronic diarrhea and short stature were significant predictors of CeD, suggesting the need for routine screening of nutritional anemia patients for CeD, particularly those who don’t respond to iron treatment.
