The concentration of serum zinc in celiac patients compared to healthy subjects in Tehran

AIM: This study evaluated serum levels of zinc in patient with CD compare to healthy subjects. BACKGROUND: Celiac disease (CD) is characterized by small intestinal malabsorption of nutrients as a consequence of ingestion of wheat gluten. Zinc is an essential trace element that it has vital biologica...

description AIM: This study evaluated serum levels of zinc in patient with CD compare to healthy subjects. BACKGROUND: Celiac disease (CD) is characterized by small intestinal malabsorption of nutrients as a consequence of ingestion of wheat gluten. Zinc is an essential trace element that it has vital biological functions. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Sera of 30 celiac cases and 30 healthy normal cohorts as control group were obtained. Atomic absorption spectrophotometer was employed for estimating serum zinc level. RESULTS: Zinc concentrations in patients diagnosed with CD were significantly lower than healthy subjects (75.97±12 compared with 92.83±18, P-value < 0.0001). CONCLUSION: The result of this study shows that serum zinc concentration is decreased in celiac patients compare to healthy controls. Serum zinc may thus be a marker of CD in adults presenting with gastrointestinal symptoms.
