Anemia feriprivă – manifestare de debut al unei boli celiace oculte

Abstract

Anemia is a common clinical problem in daily clinical prac­tice. Anemia could be the only expression of a sub­cli­ni­cal celiac disease. Iron deficiency is the most important back­ground of this anemia. Sometimes, iron deficiency ane­mia with no identifiable cause can be the only sign of an undiagnosed celiac disease. The pathogenic me­ch­a­nism of anemia in gluten-sensitive enteropathy deserves consideration for a proper and faster diagnosis, especially in cases with atypical presentation – iron de­fi­ciency anemia.
