Understanding the Link Between Early Celiac Disease Diagnosis and Kidney Health (+Video) - Celiac.com
Celiac disease is an autoimmune condition triggered by gluten, a protein found in wheat, barley, and rye. When individuals with celiac disease consume gluten, their immune system attacks the small intestine, leading to inflammation and damage. Over time, this immune response can affect other parts of the body, including the kidneys. This study explores whether early diagnosis of celiac disease and adherence to a gluten-free diet can reduce the risk of developing immune-mediated kidney diseases.
