Halfdanarson TR, Litzow MR, Murray JA
Published in Blood, Vol. 109 (2), pp. 412-21
Methodology
Clinical review of haematologic findings in celiac disease including iron, folate and B12 deficiency.
Key Findings
Iron deficiency anaemia is the most common extra-intestinal presentation of celiac disease and often resolves with a gluten-free diet alone.
Conclusions
Unexplained iron deficiency should prompt celiac screening; repletion supports but does not replace diet.
Limitations
Narrative clinical review.
Supplements Studied
Iron deficiency anaemia often resolves with a gluten-free diet alone in celiac disease.
Outcomes Measured
Iron deficiency anaemia is the most common extra-intestinal sign of celiac malabsorption.
