Multiple immune disorders in unrecognized celiac disease: a case report

Giorgio La Villa et al. World J Gastroenterol. 2003 Jun.

Abstract

We reported a female patient with unrecognized celiac disease and multiple extra intestinal manifestations, mainly related to a deranged immune function, including macroamilasemia, macrolipasemia, IgA nephropathy, thyroiditis, and anti-b2-glicoprotein-1 antibodies, that disappeared or improved after the implementation of a gluten-free diet.
