Celiac.com 05/21/2014 - A team of researchers recently studied the risk of renal disease in patients with both type 1 diabetes (T1D) and celiac disease.
The research team included K. Mollazadegan, M. Fored, S. Lundberg, J. Ludvigsson, A. Ekbom, S.M. Montgomery, and J.F. Ludvigsson, with the Clinical Epidemiology Unit of the Department of Medicine at the Karolinska Institutet in Stockholm, Sweden.
For their study, the team used the Swedish Patient Register to review data on cases of T1D recorded at or before 30 years of age between 1964 and 2009.
The team used biopsy reports from 28 pathology departments in Sweden between 1969 and 2008 to gather data on patients with celiac disease with villous atrophy (Marsh stage 3). They found 954 patients with both T1D and celiac disease. They...

Celiac.com 08/09/2019 - I have been asked to make you aware of a new Clinical Study opportunity for people with kidney damage caused by celiac disease. First, have you ever been diagnosed with enteric hyperooxaluria? If you have, you may be eligible for a clinical research study undertaken by Allena Pharmaceuticals. With a long name like that you may wonder what it is. It is a condition in which there are high levels of oxalate in which there are high levels of oxalate in the urine. Oxalate is a chemical substance found naturally in foods like spinach, nuts, chocolate and tea.

Celiac.com 10/19/2021 - There is some data to indicate a connection between celiac disease and IgA nephropathy (IgAN). In celiac disease IgA-class tissue transglutaminase (tTG) autoantibodies are seen in the small bowel mucosa and extraintestinal organs, in addition to circulating in serum.
A team of researchers recently studied whether celiac disease-type IgA-tTG deposits occur in kidney biopsies in a case series of IgAN patients with or without celiac disease. 
The research team included Rakel Nurmi, Ilma Korponay-Szabó, Kaija Laurila, Heini Huhtala, Onni Niemelä, Jukka Mustonen, Satu Mäkelä, Katri Kaukinen, and Katri Lindfors.
They are variously affiliated with the Celiac Disease Research Center, Faculty of Medicine and Health Technology, Tampere University in Ta...
