Abstract

Celiac Disease (CD) (celiac sprue) is an autoimmune disorder in which the body is unable to process gluten, a protein present in wheat, barley, rye, and triticale, so it is sometimes called gluten-sensitive enteropathy. A large number of packaged and processed foodstuffs contain gluten.Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM), also caused by an autoimmune condition, is a chronic disease characterized by absolute insulin deficiency due to complete destruction of pancreatic beta cells and leads to hyperglycemia.Anemia is a health problem because of reduced the number of red blood cells or change in their morphology or due to decreased concentration of hemoglobin (Hb). Hb is a protein within erythrocytes required for transporting oxygen to all body tissues. Iron deficiency anemia (IDA) is the main cause of anemia, which is one of the most prevalent extraintestinal symptoms of celiac disease (CD). However, there are a number of different causes of anemia in CD, including mixed nutritional deficiencies. The purpose of this study was to investigate the etiology and prevalence of anemia and DM type I in the CD population of the Babylon GIT center.
