A comprehensive analysis of demographics, comorbidities, and laboratory findings in adult celiac disease patients: a single center experience
Abstract
Aims: This study aims to evaluate the demographics, comorbidities, and laboratory findings of patients with celiac disease in our clinic.
Methods: A total of 91 celiac patients who were followed in our centre between January 2020 and September 2023 were included in the study. Demographic, laboratory and comorbidities data were analysed retrospectively.
Results: 72 (79.1%) patients were female, and the mean age of the participants was 42.3 (+-) 15.1 years. Deficiency of iron was observed in 46 (50.6%) participants, vitamin B12 in 9 (9.9%) participants, folat in 11 (12.1%) participants, and vitamin D in 37 (40.7%) participants. Hypothyroidism and diabetes mellitus were found to be the two most common comorbidities of celiac disease. In addition, liver enzymes were demonstrated to be elevated in the 9 (9.9%) patients.
Conclusion: Celiac disease is associated with mineral and vitamine deficiency. In addition, mildly elevated liver enzymes may be observed in the clinical course. Notably, extraintestinal manifestations, especially hypothyroidism and diabetes, may accompany the disease.

Keywords : Celiac disease, iron deficiency, hypothyroidism, autoimmune disease
