Elevated anti-tissue transglutaminase antibodies in children newly diagnosed with type 1 diabetes do not always indicate coeliac disease

Rinawi F, et al. - Researchers determined the prevalence of elevated anti-tissue transglutaminase (anti-tTG) antibodies in children newly diagnosed with type 1 diabetes and predictors of a subsequent coeliac disease (CD) diagnosis. From 2007 to 2015, the medical records of children diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at Ha'Emek Medical Centre, Israel were retrospectively reviewed for elevated anti-tTG antibody levels. Results of this study suggested that serological follow-up of a diet containing gluten was advised for children who have newly diagnosed type 1 diabetes and slightly elevated anti-tTG antibodies with no symptoms that suggest CD.
