A NEW MARKER IN CELIAC DISEASE DIET ADAPTATION: DELTA NEUTROPHIL INDEX?

Öz

OBJECTIVE: Celiac Disease is an enteropathy caused by the consumption of foods containing gluten and characterized by autoimmune events in the small intestine. In our study, we aimed to show the relationship between the activation criteria that increased with dietary incompatibility and the delta neutrophil index in celiac disease.
MATERIAL AND METHODS: In this study, between January 2019 and December 2019, 99 children and adolescents (under the age of 18) who were admitted to the Sami Ulus Maternity and Children's Hospital pediatric gastroenterology outpatient clinic and previously diagnosed with celiac disease were included.
RESULTS: A total of 99 celiac patients between the ages of 3 - 17, 45 girls (45.5%) and 54 boys (54.5%), were included in the study. There was no significant relationship between Delta Neutrophil Index (DNI) and duration of diagnosis (p = 0.094 r = 0.169)., dTGA (p = 0.256 r = 0.115), dTGG (p = 0.359 r = -0.094) and IgA (p = 0.259 r = 0.115).
CONCLUSIONS: Early diagnosis and treatment of celiac disease are very important because after a gluten-free diet, both symptoms regress and the development of more severe celiac-related damage can be prevented. The serological tests used to determine the dietary compliance of the patients during the follow-up were compared with the DNI level, which is one of the routine hemogram parameters used in many inflammatory conditions, but no statistically significant relationship was found. Dietary compliance can be determined by further studies in the follow-up of celiac patients.

ÇÖLYAK HASTALIĞI DİYET UYUMUNDA YENİ BİR BELİRTEÇ: DELTA NÖTROFİL İNDEKS?

Öz

AMAÇ: Çölyak Hastalığı, gluten içeren yiyeceklerin tüketilmesi ile oluşan ve ince bağırsakta otoimmün olaylarla karakterize bir enteropatidir. Çalışmamızda, çölyak hastalığında diyet uyumsuzluğu ile artış gösteren aktivasyon kriterleri ile delta nötrofil indeks arasındaki ilişkinin gösterilmesi amaçlandı.
GEREÇ VE YÖNTEM: Bu çalışmada, Ocak 2019 ve Aralık 2019 tarihleri arasında Dr. Sami Ulus Kadın Doğum ve Çocuk Hastanesi pediatrik gastroenteroloji polikliniğine başvuran önceden çölyak hastalığı tanısı almış olan 99 çocuk ve ergen (18 yaş altı) dahil edildi.
BULGULAR: Çalışmaya 45’i kız (% 45.5), 54’ü erkek (% 54.5) olmak üzere 3 - 17 yaş arası toplam 99 çölyak hastası dahil edildi. Delta Nötrofil İndeksi (DNI) ile tanı süresi arasında (p=0,094 r=0,169), dTGA ile (p=0,256 r=0,115), dTGG ile (p=0,359 r=-0,094) ve IgA ile anlamlı bir ilişki saptanmadı (p=0,259 r=0,115).
SONUÇ: Çölyak hastalığının erken tanınıp tedavi edilmesi çok önemlidir çünkü glütensiz diyet sonrası hem semptomlar gerilemekte hem de daha ciddi çölyak ilişkili hasarların gelişmesi önlenebilmektedir. Hastaların takipte diyet uyumunu belirlemek için kullanılan serolojik testler, bir çok inflamatuar durumda kullanılan ve rutin hemogram parametrelerinden biri olan DNI düzeyi ile karşılaştırıldı ancak istatistiksel olarak anlamlı ilişki saptanmadı. Çölyak hastalarının takibinde diyet uyumu ileri çalışmalar ile belirlenebilir.
