[PMID: 38491474 PMCID: PMC10943820 DOI: 10.1186/s12887-024-04688-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/22/2023] [Accepted: 03/02/2024] [Indexed: 03/18/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The relationship between Vitamin D levels and pediatric celiac disease (CD) remains controversial. In this study, we conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to examine the relationship between Vitamin D and pediatric CD. METHODS We screened relevant studies from PubMed, EMBASE, and Web of Science published in English from January 1, 2000, to August 1, 2023. The included studies were assessed according to the STROBE checklist. Heterogeneity was quantified by Cochran's Q test and the I2 statistic. Publication bias was estimated by Begg's test and Egger's test. Meta-regression was used to detect potential sources of heterogeneity. RESULTS A total of 26 studies were included in the meta-analysis. Nineteen articles compared 25(OH)D3 levels between CD patients and control groups, average 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 [25(OH)D3 or calcidiol], and 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 [1,25(OH)2D3 or calcitriol] levels, as the main forms of Vitamin D, there was a significant difference in CD patients and healthy controls (weighted mean difference (WMD) = - 5.77, 95% confidence interval (CI) = [- 10.86, - 0.69] nmol/L). Meanwhile, eleven articles reported the numbers of patients and controls with Vitamin D deficiency, there was a significant difference in the incidence of 25(OH)D3 deficiency between CD patients and healthy controls (odds ratio 2.20, 95% CI= [1.19, 4.08]). Nine articles reported changes in 25(OH)D3 levels before and after administering a GFD in patients with CD, the result of this study revealed the increase of 25(OH)D3 levels in CD patients after a gluten-free diet (GFD) (WMD = - 6.74, 95% CI = [- 9.78, - 3.70] nmol/L). CONCLUSIONS Vitamin D levels in pediatric CD patients were lower than in healthy controls, and 25(OH)D3 deficiency was more prevalent in CD patients. We found that 25(OH)D3 levels were elevated in CD patients after GFD, which is consistent with previous research. Further well-designed, longitudinal, prospective cohort studies focusing on the role of Vitamin D in the pathogenesis of CD are therefore needed.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Micronutrient deficiencies characterize classical "late-diagnosed" celiac disease (CeD). This study aimed to identify the prevalence of micronutrient deficiencies among children with "early-diagnosed" screening-identified CeD to determine the clinical value of routine testing for deficiencies in those patients. METHODS A case-control study was conducted on screening-identified CeD patients diagnosed during a mass screening study (84 patients, mean age 11.3 ± 2.6 years). The controls (443 children, mean age 10.8 ± 2.5 years) were negative for celiac disease serological screening. Hemoglobin, serum levels of iron, ferritin, folate, vitamin B12, vitamin A, vitamin E, 25-OH vitamin D, zinc, and selenium were measured. RESULTS The mean serum levels of hemoglobin, iron, ferritin, vitamin D, zinc, copper, and selenium were significantly lower in CeD patients than in healthy controls (hemoglobin 12.56 vs. 13.02 g/dL [p = 0.04]; iron 10.61 vs. 17.6 µmol/L [p < 0.001], ferritin 25.7 vs. 48.3 µg/L [p < 0.001], vitamin D 29.1 vs. 37.5 nmol/L, zinc 11.9 vs. 21.7 µmol/L, copper 18.9 vs. 32.5 µmol/L, selenium 1.04 vs. 1.36 µmol/L; p < 0.001). Patients with celiac and severe intestinal damage (Marsh IIIb and IIIc) had significantly lower serum ferritin and vitamin A levels than patients with mild intestinal damage (Marsh II and IIIa) (ferritin 15 vs. 22 µg/L, p < 0.025; vitamin A 0.85 vs. 1.35 µmol/L, p = 0.007). CONCLUSION Micronutrient deficiencies are still detectable in "early-diagnosed" screening-identified CeD cases, a clinically relevant result that strongly supports efforts for screening and early diagnosis of CeD.

Abstract
This review summarizes findings from studies assessing the nutritional status of patients with celiac disease (CD). Malnutrition, including over- and undernutrition, may be present in CD, both at diagnosis and while under treatment. Underweight and growth retardation in children, which mostly reflect malabsorption as a consequence of intestinal inflammation, are not a rule. Clinical presentations of CD can vary widely, and each manifestation has its own characteristics. Evaluating various nutritional parameters can be beneficial for CD patients and may improve health outcomes by facilitating an accurate definition of dietary needs and the development of a balanced diet that not only focuses on eliminating gluten but also provides adequate nutrients, alters metabolism, and reduces the risk of other disorders developing. The cornerstone of CD therapy is a gluten-free diet (GFD), which improves nutritional status, but even on a GFD, features of malnutrition may be present. Additionally, overweight and obesity may occur in patients on a GFD, with typical metabolic consequences.

Shree T, Banerjee P, Senapati S. A meta-analysis suggests the association of reduced serum level of vitamin D and T-allele of Fok1 (rs2228570) polymorphism in the vitamin D receptor gene with celiac disease. Front Nutr 2023; 9:996450. [PMID: 36741989 PMCID: PMC9893277 DOI: 10.3389/fnut.2022.996450] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/17/2022] [Accepted: 12/16/2022] [Indexed: 01/20/2023] Open
Abstract
Purpose As an immune-modulator, vitamin D is known to regulate immune response and is implicated in disease pathogenesis. Celiac disease (CD) is a systemic autoimmune disease and susceptibility conferred by vitamin D metabolism is under investigation. Studies on the association of vitamin D metabolism and genetic polymorphisms are expected to explain CD pathogenesis. We performed a systematic review-based meta-analysis to investigate the 25(OH)D serum levels and susceptibility conferred by the genetic variants of VDR in CD. Methods Systematic review was conducted through a web-based literature search following stringent study inclusion-exclusion criteria. The Newcastle-Ottawa Scale and GRADE tools were used to assess the quality of evidence in studies and the study outcome. Cohen's κ value was estimated to access the reviewer's agreement. RevMan 5.4.1 was used to perform the meta-analyses. Weighted mean difference and Meta p-value was assessed for 25(OH)D serum levels. Meta-odds ratio and Z-test p-value were evaluated to estimate the allelic susceptibility of VDR variants. Results A total of 8 out of 12 studies were evaluated for "25(OH)D" serum level, while four studies were found eligible for SNPs (Bsm1, Apa1, Fok1, and Taq1) of VDR. Significantly higher levels [WMD = 5.49, p < 0.00001] of 25(OH)D were observed in healthy controls than in patients with CD. rs2228570-T (Fok1) [Meta-OR = 1.52, p = 0.02] was confirmed to be predisposing allele for CD. Conclusion Reduced serum level of 25(OH)D and association of Fok1 T-allele of VDR confirmed in this study plays a critical role in immunomodulation and maintaining barrier integrity, which is majorly implicated in CD.

Abstract
Consumption of diets rich in fruits and vegetables, which provide some fat-soluble vitamins and many phytochemicals, is associated with a lower risk of developing certain degenerative diseases. It is well accepted that not only the parent compounds, but also their derivatives formed upon enzymatic or nonenzymatic transformations, can produce protective biological effects. These derivatives can be formed during food storage, processing, or cooking. They can also be formed in the lumen of the upper digestive tract during digestion, or via metabolism by microbiota in the colon. This review compiles the known metabolites of fat-soluble vitamins and fat-soluble phytochemicals (FSV and FSP) that have been identified in food and in the human digestive tract, or could potentially be present based on the known reactivity of the parent compounds in normal or pathological conditions, or following surgical interventions of the digestive tract or consumption of xenobiotics known to impair lipid absorption. It also covers the very limited data available on the bioavailability (absorption, intestinal mucosa metabolism) and summarizes their effects on health. Notably, despite great interest in identifying bioactive derivatives of FSV and FSP, studying their absorption, and probing their putative health effects, much research remains to be conducted to understand and capitalize on the potential of these molecules to preserve health.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Coeliac disease (CD) causes deficiency of various micronutrients including vitamin D, and there are no specific guidelines for treatment. AIMS To determine the prevalence of vitamin D deficiency in children newly diagnosed with CD and the role of oral high-dose vitamin D in its treatment. METHODS Calcium intake, sun exposure and biochemical and radiological parameters related to vitamin D deficiency were compared between 60 children aged 0-18 years diagnosed with CD and 60 healthy age- and sex-matched controls. The cases with serum 25(OH)D (<20 ng/ml) were given oral vitamin D (60,000 IU/week) and calcium (500 mg/day) for 12 weeks, along with a gluten-free diet (GFD); they were re-evaluated within a week of completion. The primary outcome measure was the serum 25(OH)D level, and secondary measures included serum calcium, phosphorus, alkaline phosphatase, parathormone and clinical and/or radiological rickets. RESULTS The prevalence of vitamin D deficiency (25(OH)D <20 ng/ml) was significantly greater in the cases (n=38, 63.3%) than in the controls (n=27, 45.0%). Upon treatment, all 38 cases with vitamin D deficiency showed a significant rise in 25(OH)D levels along with normalisation of other biochemical abnormalities. Two children had 25(OH)D levels >100 ng/ml with no other feature suggestive of vitamin D toxicity. CONCLUSIONS Vitamin D deficiency is more prevalent in children with CD. Administration of oral high-dose vitamin D for 12 weeks along with a GFD leads to a robust response, indicating rapid mucosal recovery. The vitamin D dosage recommended for malabsorption states may be excessive in CD.Abbreviations: ALP: alkaline phosphatase; CaBP: calcium-binding proteins; CD: coeliac disease; GFD: gluten-free diet; PTH: parathormone; RU: reproducibility units; 25(OH)D: 25 hydroxy vitamin D.

Abstract
The fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E and K are micronutrients essential for physiological activity, metabolism and growth. Accurate and sensitive analytical methods are needed to support growing research into fat-soluble vitamins and their impact on children's growth and health. Here we report the first method for simultaneous quantification of fat-soluble vitamins A (retinol), 25-hydroxylvitamin D2, 25-hydroxylvitamin D3, and vitamin E (α-tocopherol) using a Q-Exactive Orbitrap mass spectrometer in high-resolution, parallel reaction monitoring mode. This method can select desired ions with high efficiency, potentially making it superior to triple-quadrupole mass spectrometers that employ multiple reaction monitoring. The proposed method offers excellent accuracy, specificity, and sensitivity, as demonstrated with plasma samples from healthy children.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate ophthalmic parameters in adult celiac patients. METHODS This cross-sectional study included 31 celiac patients (58 eyes) and 25 healthy controls (50 eyes). Tear break up time (TBUT), schirmer test were measured; corneal thickness, anterior chamber parameters were obtained using scheimpflug camera; retinal nerve fiber layer thickness (RNFL) evaluated by using spectral domain optical cohorence tomography. RESULTS There were no statistically significant differences between the groups in terms of gender, age, and intraocular pressure (p > .05). Schirmer's test results and TBUT were significantly lower in celiac patients (p < .001, p < .001). Additionally, the superior RNFL was significantly thinner (p = .017), nasal RNFL thicker (p = .007), and anterior chamber depth larger (p = .037) in celiac patients. The tissue transglutaminase 2 IgA antibody and superior RNFL were negatively correlated (r = -0.394, p = .012). The anterior chamber volume and anti-gliadin IgA antibody were positively correlated (r = 0.369 p = .027). CONCLUSION Celiac disease affects Schirmer's test results, TBUT, segmental RNFL thickness, and anterior chamber parameters. Ocular parameters might be affected in celiac disease especially in the presence of high antibody titer.

Abstract
Introduction. Celiac disease, an autoimmune enteropathy, occurs in susceptible individuals and is treatable with a gluten-free diet. These may not be supplemented with vitamins. Objective. To assess the nutritional health of children who have biopsy-proven celiac disease. Methods. Charts were reviewed between July 1, 2007, and June 30, 2017. Results. A total of 252 children ages 0 to 21 years had biopsy-proven celiac disease, mean age 11 ± 4.1 years. Body mass index Z-score was 0.2 ± 1.2 at diagnosis. Except for vitamin D, few had deficiencies at diagnosis. At 1-year follow-up, there was no significant change in anthropomorphics or vitamin status. Adherence to follow-up was poor; at 5 years after diagnosis, 39% adhered to follow-up. Conclusion. Despite a rigorous, proactive protocol for contacting and following children with celiac disease, adherence to follow-up was poor. New strategies, such as follow-up through the primary care provider, are needed.

Abstract
Background: Adults with celiac disease (CeD) show low bone mineral density (BMD) and high fracture risk. CeD guidelines suggest measurements of serum minerals and vitamin D. However, studies on vitamin levels in CeD patients are contradictory. Aim: To investigate in CeD, 25-hydroxy-vitamin D [25(OH)D], 1,25-dihydroxy-vitamin D [1,25(OH)2D], and related analytes and to evaluate their relationships to peripheral BMD as assessed by peripheral quantitative computed tomography (pQCT). Methods: Gluten-free diet (GFD)-treated, and untreated adult CeD patients naïve to vitamin D and calcium supplementation underwent measurements of serum 25(OH)D, 1,25(OH)2D, parathyroid hormone (PTH), total calcium, phosphate, and of radius BMD by pQCT. Results: Complete data were collected in 105 patients for lab tests and 87 patients for BMD. For lab tests, untreated CeD differed from treated CeD for 22.0% lower serum 25(OH)D (p = 0.023), 42.5% higher serum PTH (p < 0.001), and 13.0% higher serum 1,25(OH)2D (p = 0.029) in the presence of similar serum calcium and phosphorus (p > 0.35). For BMD, untreated CeD differed from treated CeD for lower diaphyseal cortical BMD (1133 and 1157 mg/cm3, p = 0.004) but not for distal BMD (total, trabecular, and subcortical, p > 0.13). Independent correlates of diaphyseal cortical BMD were GFD treatment and body mass index (p < 0.05). Conclusions: Data indicated that, compared to CeD patients on a gluten-free diet, untreated adult CeD patients at diagnosis had lower 25(OH)D, higher PTH, and higher 1,25(OH)2D in the absence of difference in serum calcium and phosphorus. 25(OH)D and 1,25(OH)2D, even below the normal range, were not associated with BMD. Our findings do not support the use of vitamin D supplementation for all CeD adults.

For BMD, untreated CeD differed from treated CeD for lower diaphyseal cortical BMD (1133 and 1157 mg/cm3, p = 0.004) but not for distal BMD (total, trabecular, and subcortical, p > 0.13). Independent correlates of diaphyseal cortical BMD were GFD treatment and body mass index (p < 0.05). Conclusions: Data indicated that, compared to CeD patients on a gluten-free diet, untreated adult CeD patients at diagnosis had lower 25(OH)D, higher PTH, and higher 1,25(OH)2D in the absence of difference in serum calcium and phosphorus. 25(OH)D and 1,25(OH)2D, even below the normal range, were not associated with BMD. Our findings do not support the use of vitamin D supplementation for all CeD adults.

[PMID: 32075276 PMCID: PMC7071237 DOI: 10.3390/nu12020500] [Citation(s) in RCA: 23] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/03/2020] [Revised: 02/05/2020] [Accepted: 02/13/2020] [Indexed: 12/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Nutrient deficiencies are well recognized as secondary consequences of celiac disease (CD) and closely related to the clinical presentation of affected patients. Despite their clinical significance, consensus is lacking on the pattern and frequency of nutrient deficiencies in CD, the usefulness of their assessment at the time of diagnosis and during follow-up. This review aims to provide an overview of nutrient deficiencies among pediatric and adult CD patients at diagnosis and on a gluten-free diet (GFD), and their potential causes in CD. Secondly, we review their impact on CD management strategies including the potential of nutrient supplementation. A search of Medline, Pubmed and Embase until January 2019 was performed. Despite a high variability between the reported deficiencies, we noted that nutrient deficiencies occur frequently in children and adults with CD at diagnosis and during treatment with a GFD. Both inadequate dietary intake and/or diminished uptake due to intestinal dysfunction contribute to nutrient deficiencies. Most deficiencies can be restored with (long-term) treatment with a GFD and/or supplementation. However, some of them persist while others may become even more prominent during GFD. Our results indicate a lack of comprehensive evidence on the clinical efficacy of nutrient supplementation in CD management highlighting the need for further studies.

Abstract
PURPOSE To review and highlight the ocular manifestations associated with celiac disease (CD) and presentation of their pathogenetic mechanisms. METHODS A thorough review of the literature was performed using PubMed to identify articles about serrated polyposis syndrome. The search was performed using the search string: ("celiac disease" OR "coeliac disease") AND ("ocular manifestations" OR "eye" OR "orbitopathy" OR "uveitis" OR "neuro-ophthalmic manifestations"). Only articles in English were reviewed. RESULTS Several ocular symptoms and disorders have been associated with CD and are a result of defective intestinal absorption and immunological mechanisms. These include nyctalopia, dry eye, cataract, thyroid-associated orbitopathy, uveitis, central retinal vein occlusion and neuro-ophthalmic manifestations. In addition, CD-related ocular disease may represent the first manifestation of CD. CONCLUSION CD may hold accountable for the development of ocular diseases of obscure etiology.

Vitamin A levels are comparable between children with newly diagnosed coeliac disease and non-coeliac controls. Acta Paediatr 2019; 108:2095-2099. [PMID: 31124160 DOI: 10.1111/apa.14873] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/11/2018] [Revised: 04/25/2019] [Accepted: 05/21/2019] [Indexed: 11/30/2022]
Abstract
AIM Nutritional deficiencies associated with coeliac disease include iron, folic acid and fat-soluble vitamins. This study compared the prevalence and degree of vitamin A deficiency among newly diagnosed coeliac disease patients to controls in a developed country. METHODS This prospective cohort study included all children evaluated by gastroscopy at Dana-Dwek Children's Hospital, Israel, between September 2014 and February 2017. Vitamin A, haemoglobin, C-reactive protein (CRP), ferritin, tissue transglutaminase, immunoglobulin A and vitamin D levels were measured. RESULTS Of the 113 children (69% females), 47 were diagnosed with coeliac disease whereas the others were the controls (mean age of 8.2 ± 3.8 years and 12.4 ± 3.5 years, respectively). There was no group difference in vitamin A, vitamin D or CRP levels. Among coeliac children, two had true vitamin A deficiency compared with three controls, while 18 coeliac children had subclinical vitamin A deficiency compared with 25 controls (p > 0.05). CONCLUSION Paediatric coeliac disease was not associated with increased prevalence of vitamin A deficiency. Children evaluated for gastrointestinal complaints in a developed country were found to have an unexpectedly high prevalence of subclinical vitamin A deficiency. Further prevalence and causality assessments of vitamin A deficiency in developed countries are needed.

Abstract
Celiac disease (CD) is an autoimmune-related disease causing inflammation in the small intestine triggered by the ingestion of gluten in the diet. The gluten-free diet (GFD) is the only treatment. Nutritional deficiencies of macronutrients and micronutrients are frequently found in untreated or newly diagnosed CD. A registered dietitian nutritionist is uniquely qualified to educate on the GFD and assess and support nutritional status at diagnosis and long term as well as helping patients with nonresponsive CD. Quality of life is important to address in individuals with CD because the GFD affects all aspects of life.
