Description
Summary:Background Low ferritin without anaemia has been linked to adverse health effects. Objectives To investigate the prevalence and clinical significance of low ferritin in screen‐detected coeliac disease. Methods Seventy‐six screen‐detected coeliac disease patients were enrolled in the prospective collection of comprehensive clinical, laboratory and histological data at diagnosis and after 1–2 years on a gluten‐free diet (GFD). All variables were compared between patients with different ferritin levels. Results At coeliac disease diagnosis, six patients had anaemia. Of the 70 nonanaemic patients, ferritin levels were
