The strategic use of biopsy in the diagnosis of coeliac disease in adults
The paediatric guidelines support the use of the ‘No Biopsy Approach’ in the diagnosis of coeliac disease (CD). We aimed to determine the correlation between anti tissue transglutaminase (anti-TTG serology) ≥10 times the upper limit of normal (ULN), using the Celikey ® ELiA assay and histological findings. Our secondary aim was to determine the safety of this approach in our centre.
