Coeliac disease and liver dysfunction.

Abstract excerpt

The spectrum and pathogenesis of liver dysfunction in coeliac disease (CD) is reviewed. CD and liver disease share common risk factors, and consequences of CD may cause liver dysfunction. Liver dysfunction should be sought in CD, and its aetiology explored when abnormalities persist after gluten exclusion. CD should be excluded in patients with unexplained liver dysfunction before being labelled "cryptogenic".
