Season 2 Episode 2: Best Practices in Biopsies for Celiac Disease (33 min.)
$0.00
This episode of the Raising Celiac Podcast looks at best practices in biopsies for celiac disease. To improve the sensitivity of biopsies in diagnosis, updated pediatric and adult guidelines now recommend obtaining both duodenal bulb and distal duodenum biopsies. But how can delayed diagnosis be prevented in the future? Do endoscopists need to separate the biopsies into separate containers for pathology review? Does isolated blub celiac disease relate at all to the levels of ttg antibodies in the blood? We’ll discuss this and more on this episode of Raising Celiac.
