Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the prevalence of coeliac disease in patients with chronic hypertransaminasaemia (CHT), hepatitis C virus (HCV), and functional dyspepsia, using antibodies against tissue transglutaminase (tTG) for screening.
- Results showed that positive anti-tTG antibodies were found primarily in CHT and functional dyspepsia patients, with a confirmed diagnosis of coeliac disease through duodenal biopsy in these cases.
- The research concludes that CHT and functional dyspepsia may indicate coeliac disease, whereas HCV patients do not show a link, suggesting no need for coeliac screening in this group.
