ABSTRACT
Celiac disease (CD) is a chronic autoimmune enteropathy triggered by gluten intake. Celiac hepatitis is the most common hepatic manifestation of CD, it usually responds to a gluten-free diet (GFD) and is sometimes the only manifestation in paucisymptomatic CD. Through this descriptive observational study, we determined the prevalence of liver abnormalities upon diagnosis of CD. A total of 140 patients were included. The prevalence of alterations in liver markers at diagnosis of CD was 47%. In 2.9% of patients, liver abnormalities were the only manifestation at diagnosis. A higher prevalence of liver alterations was found in those patients who presented a more severe histological alteration (MARSH 3c).
