Popis: Response to a gluten-free diet (GFD) in children with celiac disease is determined by symptom resolution and normalization of serology. We evaluated the rate of normalization of the transglutaminase (TTG) and antiendomysial (EMA) for children on a GFD after diagnosis. Celiac serologies were obtained over 3.5 years after starting a GFD in 228 newly diagnosed children with biopsy-proven celiac disease. Patients were classified into categories based on serology (group A, TTG ≥10 × upper limit of normal [ULN] and EMA ≥ 1:80; group B, TTG ≥10 × ULN and EMA ≤ 1:40; and group C, TTG 1 year in approximately 75% of GFD-compliant children with the highest celiac serology or most severe mucosal injury at diagnosis. Clinicians must consider serology and histology at diagnosis to properly evaluate response to GFD.
