Objective:To investigate the clinical manifestations and pathological features of adult celiac disease in Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region.Methods:From January 2016 to December 2019, the clinical data of 943 patients with gastrointestinal symptoms such as chronic diarrhea, abdominal pain, abdominal distension and visited the People′s Hospital of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region were collected. All patients tested for serum anti-tissue transglutaminase antibody inmunoglobulin A (tTG-IgA). And patients with positive serum tTG-IgA underwent gastroscopy and colonoscopy examination. To observe whether duodenal and ileal mucosal villi atrophy and histopathological examination was performed. Body mass index (BMI), hemoglobin, serum calcium, serum albumin level were compared between patients with and without celiac disease. T test and chi-square test were used for statistical analysis. Results:Serum tTG-IgA was positive in 30 patients, and 28 cases were finally diagnosed as celiac disease. The detection rate of celiac disease of Kazakh patients was higher than that of Uygur and Han patients (17.3%, 9/52 vs. 3.2%, 12/375 and 1.4%, 6/427), the detection rate of celiac disease of Uygur was higher than that of Han, and the differences were statistically significant ( χ2=7.65, 5.42 and 5.98, all P<0.05). The main clinical manifestations of 28 patients with celiac disease were weight loss or marasmus (71.4%, 20/28), iron deficiency anemia (67.9%, 19/28), persistent fatigue (57.1%, 16/28) and chronic diarrhea (53.6%, 15/28). The serum tTG-IgA level of patients with celiac disease was higher than that of patients without celiac disease ((131.97±64.58) CU vs. (7.58±1.92) CU), while the levels of BMI, hemoglobin, serum calcium and serum albumin were all lower than those of patients without celiac disease ((15.4±2.9) kg/m 2 vs. (23.8±3.4) kg/m 2, (110±28) g/L vs. (138±12) g/L, (1.70±0.20) mmol/L vs. (2.52±0.15) mmol/L, and (31.5±11.6) g/L vs. (48.2±7.3) g/L, respectively), and the differences were statistically significant ( t=2.473, 2.521, 2.641, 2.734 and 2.512, all P<0.05). Under gastroscopy all patients with celiac disease had atrophy of duodenal mucosal villi, which mainly appeared as nodular mucosal atrophy, grooves and fissure like changes, and villous atrophy was confirmed by histopathology. Conclusions:The detection rates of celiac disease in Kazakh and Uyghur in Xinjiang Uygur Antonomous Region are significantly higher than that of Han nationality. Celiac disease screening has a certain clinical significance.
