The gastrointestinal tract is an important organ in the maintenance of zinc homeostasis. We determined the serum zinc level in 140 samples from 78 children with coeliac disease in different phases. Abnormally low values were found only in children with acute coeliac disease (50% below 2 SD), but not in children receiving a gluten-free diet. We therefore suggest to measure the serum zinc concentration in children with coeliac disease and to add a zinc supplementation in patients with diminished zinc values during a period of 2-4 weeks, because zinc deficiency could inhibit the recovery of the intestinal mucosa.
胃肠道是维持锌稳态的重要器官。我们测定了78例不同阶段乳糜泻患儿的140份样本的血清锌水平。仅在急性乳糜泻患儿中发现异常低值（50%低于2个标准差），而接受无麸质饮食的患儿未出现。因此，我们建议测定乳糜泻患儿的血清锌浓度，对于锌值降低的患者在2 - 4周内补充锌，因为锌缺乏可能会抑制肠黏膜的恢复。
