(advertisement) Excerpt from Sprue Synonyms, Key Words, and Related Terms: celiac sprue, gluten-sensitive enteropathy, nontropical sprue, celiac disease, CD Please click here to view the full topic text: Sprue Background: Sprue (ie, celiac disease [CD]) is a permanent intolerance to certain storage proteins found in some cereals (eg, wheat, rye, barley) that occurs in genetically susceptible individuals and is triggered by an immune-mediated mechanism. The classic clinical picture first was described by Samuel Gee in 1888. In the typical presentation of CD in the young child, a combination of a potbelly and thin buttocks are observed, with proximal arm and thigh muscle wasting as a result of nutrient malabsorption. About 1950, understanding of the disease improved when the Dutch pediatrician W.K. Dicke cleverly observed an association between wheat consumption and incidence of CD. During World War II, wheat was unavailable; thus, grain products were very scarce in Holland. People with sprue found a surprising improvement in their symptoms, which ended when wheat and other grains became available again. Since then, research has uncovered the pathophysiology of this disease, which has enabled medical understanding and treatment. In 1968, adult nontropical sprue and childhood CD finally were discovered to be the same affliction. Sprue can present at any stage in life; a sprue diagnosis is not unusual in people older than 60 years. Pathophysiology: Sprue primarily affects the mucosal layer, which is where an inflammatory state, caused by a cascade of immune events, is activated in predisposed individuals by the exposure to gliadins. The condition causes a deepening and hyperplasia of the crypts and a concomitant flattening of the villi (ie, fingerlike projections of the mucosa with the primary function of increasing its absorptive surface). These changes are more evident proximally and fade more distally. Recently, it has been well documented that the described typical changes may occur with a patchy distribution. When gluten is excluded from the diet, the diseased mucosa returns to normal. The process of normalization is a highly variable one and may occur as soon as 3-4 months or as late as 1-2 years.

TM Celiac sprue MedFriendly.com TM TM A B C D ... What is the origin of the word, "celiac sprue"? WHAT IS IT? Celiac sprue is an uncommon, long-term disorder, in which the lining of the small intestine wastes away, becomes inflamed, and is damaged by a protein known as gluten. This protein is found in wheat, rye, barley, and other cereals. The intestine is a tube shaped structure that is part of the digestive tract. It stretches from an opening in the stomach to the anus (rear end) and occupies most of the lower parts of the belly. The small intestine is a part of the intestine that takes in all of the nutrients that the body needs. The damage to the lining of the small intestine causes a failure to absorb nutrients in food. This causes weight loss, a lack of vitamins and minerals in the body, and the passage of a large amount of fat in the feces (poop), which will be large and smell very bad. Weight loss and a lack of vitamins and minerals can cause skin problems and anemia. Anemia is a condition in which there is an abnormally low amount of hemoglobin in the blood. Hemoglobin is substance present in red blood cells that help carry oxygen to cells in the body. WHAT CAUSES CELIAC SPRUE?

nontropical sprue Coeliac disease is clinically very variable and so is defined pathologically as a permanent gluten-sensitive enteropathy. The mucosal lesions seen on upper GI biopsy are the result of an abnormal, genetically determined, cell-mediated immune response to gliadin, a constituent of the gluten found in wheat. A similar response occurs to comparable proteins found in rye and barley. Gluten is not found in oats, rice and maize. Coeliac disease was first identifed by Samuel Gee in 1888. However, it was W. Dicke in the 1950s who identified the dietary link, noting that patients with this condition were apparently cured by the deprivations of World War II, but relapsed when rationing was abolished.

Site search Web search powered by FreeFind Dermatitis Herpetiformis, Gluten-Sensitive Enteropathy (nontropical sprue), Gluten-Induced Enteropathy Indications and Rationale Consumption of gluten (found in wheat, rye, oats, barley, and malt) in sensitive individuals may damage villous epithelial cell in the proximal portion of the small intestine, resulting in malabsorption of all macronutrients (fat, carbohydrate, and protein), as well as micronutrients (vitamins and minerals). The patient may present with loss of weight, nausea and vomiting, abdominal pain, weakness, and diarrhea associated with foul-smelling stools. Long-term complications include an increased incidence of malignant disease, evolving into a refractory syndrome, and ulceration and stricture of the small intestine. A gluten-free diet completely relieves this disease. In the presence of fat intolerance or steatorrhea, it is necessary to restrict fat; in the presence of lactose intolerance, the diet order should be lactose-free.

Prevention Celiac disease - sprue Definition: This is a common disease in which the lining of the small intestine is damaged in response to ingestion of gluten and similar proteins , which are found in wheat, rye, oats, barley, and other grains (including hybrid grains, such as triticale). Alternative Names: Sprue; Nontropical sprue; Gluten intolerance Causes, incidence, and risk factors: The exact cause of celiac disease is unknown.

The disorder may be caused by an abnormal immune response to proteins found in grains, particularly gluten and the related protein gliadin. The intestines contain projections (called villi) that normally absorb nutrients. Celiac disease causes these villi to become flattened and lose the ability to absorb nutrients. Weight loss anemia , and vitamin deficiencies may occur as a result of this malabsorption (inadequate absorption of nutrients from the intestinal tract). Symptoms appear in babies within 6 months of introducing food containing gluten into the diet. The disease also affects children and adults. As many as 1 in 250 people may have celiac disease and some studies estimate that it is even more common, at 1 in 150. Most people with the disease do not know they have it, as only about 1 in 2,500 is diagnosed.

Steatorrhea ("fatty" diarrhea, or stools that can be foul smelling and unusually colored) is common. Dental examination may show changes in the teeth. In fact, some cases of celiac disease are suspected by a dentist because of the changes in the enamel of the teeth, which include symmetrical (the same on both sides) changes in the tooth color and surface texture.

NONTROPICAL SPRUE - An inherited disease where the intestinal lining is inflamed in response to the ingestion of a protein known as gluten. Gluten is present in many grains including rye, oats, barley, and triticale. Symptoms in infants include diarrhea, slow growth, bloody stools, weight loss, vomiting , and clay-colored stools. Symptoms in adults include abdominal distention, abdominal pain, fatigue, weight loss, bone pain, and bone tenderness. Treatment involves the life-long avoidance of gluten.
