Coeliac disease is a common condition that is increasingly being recognised as a result of the development of sensitive and specific serology. The diagnosis of coeliac disease and its subsequent treatment with a gluten-free diet have implications for the patient, not just for symptom control but also for the possible effect on quality of life and risk of complications. Whether the mode of presentation of coeliac disease has an effect on survival or risk of complication is yet unclear. This article reviews the available evidence regarding these issues.
乳糜泻是一种常见疾病,由于敏感且特异的血清学检测方法的发展,其越来越多地被认识到。乳糜泻的诊断及其随后采用无麸质饮食的治疗对患者具有重要意义,不仅关乎症状控制,还涉及对生活质量的潜在影响以及并发症风险。乳糜泻的表现方式是否会对生存率或并发症风险产生影响尚不清楚。本文综述了关于这些问题的现有证据。
