Red Cell Distribution Width as a Predictive Factor of Celiac Disease in Middle and Late Adulthood and Its Potential Utility as Celiac Disease Screening Criterion.

Red cell distribution width (RDW) could be of interest by its potential use in the assessment of celiac disorder (CD). The main objective of this study was to evaluate the case positive rate of CD and the utility of red cell distribution width (RDW) in the CD diagnosis. This prospective study included 9.

Evaluation of Celiac Disease by Minimally Invasive Biomarkers in a Spanish Pediatric Population.

Background: The diagnosis of celiac disease (CD) has been substantially improved with the availability of highly sensitive CD-specific IgA-TG2, Ig-GDP, and IgA-EMA. The European Society for Pediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology, and Nutrition (ESPGHAN) published (2012) and updated (2020) diagnostic criteria for CD in order to simplify CD diagnosis and to avoid biopsies in selected patients.

Methods: A prospective study including 5641 pediatric patients (0-16 years old) from January 2012 to January 2019 was performed.
