PY - 2013 DA - 2013/11/09 TI - Limited utilization of serologic testing in patients undergoing duodenal biopsy for celiac disease JO - BMC Gastroenterology SP - 156 VL - 13 IS - 1 AB - Clinical algorithms for the workup of celiac disease often recommend the use of serologic assays for initial screening, followed by duodenal biopsy for histologic confirmation. However, the majority of duodenal biopsies submitted to pathology for “rule out celiac” are negative. The objective of this study was to determine the underlying causes for this low diagnostic yield.
