Can the Mucosa Heal Histologically in Celiac Disease? What are the Indicators of Remission in Celiac Patients?
Diet compliance and remission rates of celiac patients increase over time. However, histologically, intraepithelial lymphocytosis almost never improves, and villous atrophy persists in most patients even if they comply with the diet. Although the asymptomatic nature of the patients, their autoantibody titers, and their dietary compliance are considered important indicators of remission, these parameters do not clearly reflect the histological status of the mucosa.
