Overview

Celiac disease (CD) may be classified according to the symptoms and laboratory findings into 5 sub groups as, classical, atypical, asymptomatic, latent, and potential CD.

Classification

Celiac disease (CD) may be classified according to burden of symptoms into five sub groups:[1][2][3][4][5][6]

  • Classical CD
  • Atypical CD
  • Asymptomatic CD
  • Latent CD
  • Potential CD
Type Characteristics
Classical Classic CD has typical features of gastrointestinal upset (eg, chronic diarrhea) in addition to extraintestinal symptoms and signs (eg, anaemia, neuropathy, decreased bone density, increased risk of fractures)
Atypical Atypical CD presents with minor gastrointestinal symptoms and signs and is rarely associated with anemia, dental enamel defects, osteoporosis, arthritis, increased transaminases, neurological symptoms, or infertility.
Asymptomatic Silent CD is defined as the presence of positive CD-specific antibodies, HLA, and small-bowel biopsy findings that are compatible with CD but without sufficient symptoms and signs to warrant clinical suspicion of CD.
Latent Latent CD is defined by the presence of compatible HLA but without enteropathy in a patient who has had a gluten-dependent enteropathy at some point in his or her life. The patient may or may not have symptoms and may or may not have CD-specific antibodies.
Potential CD Potential CD is defined by the presence of CD-specific antibodies and compatible HLA but without histological abnormalities on duodenal biopsies. The patient may or may not have symptoms and signs and may or may not develop a gluten dependency enteropathy later.
