Celiac Disease
Celiac disease is an autoimmune-mediated sensitivity to gluten that can be challenging to diagnose due to its highly variable presentation. The Celiac Disease topic and Celiac Disease Testing for Symptomatic Individuals Algorithm have been revised to include significant updates based on guidance from the American Gastroenterological Association and the European Society for Paediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition. The new Celiac Disease HLA-DQ Genotyping Test Fact Sheet includes stratified risk information for patients with celiac disease-associated genotypes.
Trace Elements - Deficiency and Toxicity
According to the CDC, no safe blood lead level has been established for children, and lead exposure can have serious health consequences. The Trace Elements - Deficiency and Toxicity topic on ARUP Consult has been revised to include recent updates from the CDC regarding blood lead levels in children.
