Zinc nutritional status was examined in 10 adult patients with biopsy-proven celiac disease; five of these patients were clinically well on gluten-free diets at the time of study. Plasma zinc and taste acuity were used as indices of zinc nutrition. Depression of plasma zinc and lowered taste discrimination were observed among the untreated patients, and some patients who were otherwise in clinical remission also had impaired zinc nutrition. With confirmation of plasma copper depression in patients with celiac sprue, these observations indicate that trace metal deficiency is another common nutritional complication of adult celiac disease.
对10例经活检证实为乳糜泻的成年患者进行了锌营养状况检查；其中5例患者在研究时采用无麸质饮食，临床状况良好。血浆锌和味觉敏锐度被用作锌营养指标。在未经治疗的患者中观察到血浆锌降低和味觉辨别能力下降，一些临床缓解的患者也存在锌营养受损的情况。鉴于乳糜泻患者血浆铜降低得到证实，这些观察结果表明，微量金属缺乏是成人乳糜泻另一种常见的营养并发症。
