The definition of the condition includes the requirement that the duodenal histological appearances are otherwise unremarkable, specifically with normal villous architecture. [2] In coeliac disease (also known as gluten-sensitive enteropathy), duodenal lymphocytosis is found in untreated or partially treated cases. This is the least severe type ...
Villous blunting; Crypt hypertrophy; Villous fusion; Mucosal inflammation; The key histological features are villous flattening, crypt hyperplasia and inflammation in the epithelium and lamina propria. [34] [40] However, this procedure is considered too invasive, complex and expensive to be implemented as standard of care. [2]
Both anti-transglutaminase and anti-endomysial antibodies have high sensitivity to diagnose people with classic symptoms and complete villous atrophy, but they are only found in 30–89% of the cases with partial villous atrophy and in less than 50% of the people who have minor mucosal lesions (duodenal lymphocytosis) with normal villi. [23] [24]
The majority of IELs (80%) are CD3+, and over 75% of these also express CD8.IELs can be divided into two major subsets based on their CD8 coreceptor expression. [5] One subset of IELs typically express activation marker CD8αα and some IELs express CD8αβ + marker (CD8αβ promotes TCR activation, whereas CD8αα suppresses TCR signals).
Histopathological features include small bowel villous changes such as atrophy and blunting, typically prominent in the proximal bowel. [12] Occasionally crypt abscesses are also seen. [ 50 ] The crypt epithelium may contain apoptotic bodies and lymphocytic infiltration, with comparatively little surface lymphocytosis (less than 40 lymphocytes ...
Biopsy of small bowel showing coeliac disease manifested by blunting of villi, crypt hyperplasia, and lymphocyte infiltration of crypts. Coeliac disease or celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder of the small bowel that occurs in genetically predisposed individuals in all age groups after early infancy.
Villitis of unknown etiology (VUE), also known as chronic villitis, is a placental injury.VUE is an inflammatory condition involving the chorionic villi (placental villi). ). VUE is a recurrent condition and can be associated with intrauterine growth restriction (I
