Celiac Disease (CD), also known as non-Tropical sprue, and Celiac sprue is an immune-mediated disorder, triggered by gluten containing grains in genetically susceptible people. The disease may be diagnosed at any age and can affect many organ systems. Its diagnosis and management can often be challenging. A high index of suspicion is required to diagnose this disease at an early stage in patients presenting with atypical symptomatology and delayed onset. Although serological tests are widely used, duodenal biopsy remains the gold standard for diagnosis of CD. Even though CD affects various body systems, Microscopic Colitis (MC) and refractory sprue are among the main gastrointestinal complications of CD, which are resistant to Gluten-Free Diet (GFD). A thorough and appropriate evaluation is mandatory for an early and accurate diagnosis of these complications. Herein, we report a case of a young female with CD in early phase in concordance with MC and splenomegaly.

D007070 Immunoglobulin A Represents 15-20% of the human serum immunoglobulins, mostly as the 4-chain polymer in humans or dimer in other mammals. Secretory IgA (IMMUNOGLOBULIN A, SECRETORY) is the main immunoglobulin in secretions. IgA,IgA Antibody,IgA1,IgA2,Antibody, IgA
D011503 Transglutaminases Transglutaminases catalyze cross-linking of proteins at a GLUTAMINE in one chain with LYSINE in another chain. They include keratinocyte transglutaminase (TGM1 or TGK), tissue transglutaminase (TGM2 or TGC), plasma transglutaminase involved with coagulation (FACTOR XIII and FACTOR XIIIa), hair follicle transglutaminase, and prostate transglutaminase. Although structures differ, they share an active site (YGQCW) and strict CALCIUM dependence.
