MALABSORPTİON SYNDROME Prof. Dr. Tufan KUTLU
Malabsorption • Malabsorption can be defined as subnormalintestinalabsorption of dietaryconstituents, andthusexcessiveloss of nutrients in thestool; it may be dueto a digestivedefect, a mucosalabnormality, orlymphaticobstruction.”

Celiac disease • Celiac disease (CD), also called gluten-sensitive enteropathy, is a permanent intestinal intolerance to dietary wheat gliadin and related proteins that produces mucosal lesions in genetically susceptible individuals
Historical background • Gallen, 250 AD, describedceliacdisease • SamuelGee, 1888, firstdescription of CD • Dicke, 1950, role of wheatandryeflour in thepathogenesis of CD • Paulley, 1954, firstbiopsy (surgical) • Sakula ve Shiner, 1957, peroralintestinalbiopsy • ESPGHAN criteria, 1970, 1979, 1990, 2012
Genetics of celiac disease • Prevalence of CD among first-degree relatives of CD patients is approximately 10 % • 75 % of monozygotic twins have been found concordant with the disaese • Association of CD (95 % in CD, 20-30 % in controls) with the HLA DQ α/β heterodimer encoded by the DQA1*0501 and the DQB1*0201 genes
Epidemiology • The reported prevalence of symptomatic CD is 1 in 1000 live births (1/250 – 1/4000) • The prevalence of asymptomatic CD is 1/200 (1/100-1/300)
Pathogenesis • CD is an immunologically mediated small intestinal enteropathy. • The mucosal lesions shows features suggesting both humoral- and cell-mediated immunologic overstimulation. • All the evidence available suggests a gluten-dependent activation of mucosal immunity in CD.
Pathology • Partialto total villousatrophy • Elongatedcrypts • Increasedmitoticindex in thecrypts • Increasedintraepiteliallymphocytes • Infiltrations of plasmacellsandlymphocytes as well as mastcells, eosinophils, andbasophils in thelaminapropria
