Conclusion
Celiac disease is associated with a variety of hepatobiliary disorders, and both conditions should be investigated in patients presenting with symptoms of the other.
Supporting Evidence
- Celiac disease can lead to liver enzyme abnormalities that often normalize on a gluten-free diet.
- Patients with celiac disease may present with liver issues even without gastrointestinal symptoms.
- Screening for celiac disease is recommended in patients with unexplained liver disorders.
Takeaway
Celiac disease can cause liver problems, and if someone has liver issues, doctors should check for celiac disease too.
Limitations
The study primarily reviews existing literature and may not include new empirical data.
