Summary: | Coeliac Disease (CD) affects at least 1% of the population. “Classical” CD refers to gastrointestinal presentations with anaemia and gastrointestinal symptoms.

Recognition and research into the pathophysiology of such manifestations is likely to enhance our understanding of this complex autoimmune disorder. |
