Abstract
Giriş: Çölyak hastalığında (ÇH) güçlü pozitif doku transglutaminaz antikor (DTGA) düzeylerinin (≥100 U/A) hemen daima villöz atrofiye işaret ettiği gösterilmiştir. Bu çalışmanın amacı ≥100 U/A immünoglobulin (Ig) A tipi DTGA düzeylerinin ÇH tanısındaki yeterliliğini ortaya koymaktır. Gereç ve Yöntem: DTGA pozitifliği nedeniyle endoskopik duodenum biyopsisi yapılan 197 çocuk retrospektif olarak incelendi. IgA DTGA düzeylerinin pozitif değeri >18 U/A idi. Bu eşik değerinin 5 kat veya daha üzerindeki artışlar (≥100 U/A) güçlü pozitiflik olarak kabul edildi. ÇH tanısı ESPGHAN ölçütlerine göre konuldu. Modifiye Marsh evre ≥2 ÇH için anlamlı kabul edildi. Bulgular: Olguların 129’u (%65,5) kız, 68’i (%34,5) erkekti. Duodenum histopatolojisi; olguların 1’inde (%0,5) Marsh 0, 17’sinde (%8,6) Marsh 2, 41’inde (%20,8) Marsh 3a, 81’inde (%41,1) Marsh 3b ve 57’sinde (%28,9) Marsh 3c ile uyumluydu. Yüz doksan yedi olgunun 64’ünde (%32,5) DTGA ≥100 U/ml idi. Güçlü DTGA pozitifliği saptanan olguların duodenum histolojisi 63’ünde Marsh 3 (villöz atrofi) ve birinde (tip 1 diyabetli ve ÇH açısından asemptomatik) Marsh 0 (normal histoloji) ile uyumluydu. DTGA ≥100 U/A olmasının Marsh 3c’nin varlığı için duyarlılığı %85,96 (%95 CI: %74,2-%93,7). Özgüllüğü %89,29 (%95 CI: %82,9-%93,8), pozitif tahmin değeri %76,56 (%95 CI: %64,3-%86,2) ve negatif tahmin değeri %93,9 (%95 CI: %88,4-%97,3) idi. Sonuç: Bu çalışma güçlü pozitif Ig A DTGA düzeylerinin (≥100 U/A) neredeyse her zaman Marsh 3 duodenal histopatolojik değişikliklerle beraber olduğunu göstermiştir. Biyopsi yapılmadan ÇH tanısının konulması ÇH’ye eşlik eden bazı hastalıkların atlanmasına neden olabilir; fakat ileri tetkik edilmiş seçilmiş bazı olgularda çocuk gastroenteroloji uzmanları tarafından endoskopi yapılmadan da ÇH tanısı konulabilir.
Introduction: In celiac disease (CD) strong positive tissue transglutaminase antibody (TTGA) levels (≥100 U/A) have been shown to almost always indicate villous atrophy. The aim of this study is to determine the sufficiency of ≥100 U/A Ig A type TTGA levels for diagnosis of CD. Materials and Methods: Results from duodenum biopsy performed due to positive TTGA in 197 children were retrospectively examined. IgA TTGA levels had a positive value of >18 U/A. Increases of 5 times or more than this threshold value (≥100 U/A) are accepted as strong positivity. CD diagnosis was made according to ESPGHAN criteria. A modified Marsh stage ≥2 was accepted as significant for CD. Results: Of the cases, 129 were female (65.5%) and 68 were male (34.5%). Duodenum histopathology was compatible with Marsh 0 for 1 case (0.5%), Marsh 2 for 17 cases (8.6%), Marsh 3a for 41 (20.8%), Marsh 3b for 81 (41.4%) and Marsh 3c for 57 (28.9%). The TTGA levels of 64 of the 197 cases (32.5%) were ≥100 U/A. In cases with strong positivity for TTGA the duodenum histology was compatible with Marsh 3 (villous atrophy) for 63 and Marsh 0 (normal histology) for 1 case (type 1 diabetic and asymptomatic for CD). For Marsh 3c TTGA levels ≥100 U/A had a sensitivity of 85.96% (95% CI: 74.2-93.7%), specificity of 89.29% (95% CI: 82.9-93.8%), positive predictive value of 76.56% (95% CI: 64.3-86.2%) and negative predictive value of 93.9% (95% CI: 88.4- 97.3%). Conclusions: This study showed that positive IgA TTGA levels (≥100 U/A) were almost always accompanied by Marsh 3 duodenal histopathological changes. Diagnosis of CD without biopsy may miss certain accompanying diseases, however in some cases with advanced examinations CD may be diagnosed by pediatric gastroenterology specialists without endoscopy.
