Abstract
Celiac disease (also known as gluten-sensitive enteropathy or nontropical disease) is a common autoimmune disorder that caused by sensitivity to dietary gluten and related proteins in genetically sensitive individuals. The disorder may be diagnosed atany age and that affects many organ systems. Celiac disease occurs in adults and children at rates approaching 0.5 to 1% of the population. We report a case of celiac disease (CD) in a young adult female patient with watery diarrhea, weight loss, ascites, arthropathy and evidence of vitamin K deficiency.
