Abstract

Celiac disease (CD) is a well-studied disease among disorders associated with human leukocyte antigen (HLA). The prevalence of CD is about 0.7–1.4% of the population. CD is accompanied by atrophy of the villi of the mucous membrane of the small intestine in response to the effects of gluten. As a result of atrophy, the surface area of the mucous membrane of the small intestine decreases. Malabsorption is one of the main causes of insufficient intake of various vitamins, macro- and microelements into the body. This article contains various deficient states accompanying CD. Key words: celiac disease, vitamin D, vitamin A, vitamin B12, iodine, vitamin K, copper, iron, folic acid, zinc, malabsorption syndrome
