Abstract | ||||
Celiac disease is showing a different epidemiological pattern in the last few years where the Middle East is involved now in its prevalence, not just Europe. Aim of the study : to evaluate the difference between Kuwaitis and non-Kuwaitis in the seroprevalence and histopathological pattern of celiac disease. Patients and methods : This retrospective study included 182 patients diagnosed as Celiac disease in "Mubarak Al-kbeer" hospital divided into 91 Kuwaitis and 91 non-Kuwaitis who were retrieved from the archives. Results : females showed to have the upper hand in being diagnosed as celiac disease representing 67% of the patients. Diabetes Mellitus type 1 was the main associated disease with diagnosed patients and was more in the Kuwaitis population. There was no statistical significant difference between both studied groups considering serological findings, pathological results or gender. Conclusion : Kuwaitis population is similar to other populations in the prevalence of celiac disease. | ||||
